PalladiumPampa Hi, Men's Ankle Boots

As a sufferer of shin splints and problematic knees it has been difficult for me to find footwear that is both stylish and comfortable. Converse, Vans, Chelsea boots and Doc Martens have aggravated this condition. I have a comfortable pair of walking trainers but they don't exactly go well with smarter clothes or for work.I searched amazon for boots and Palladium boots popped up. I then found these Pampa Hi boots and read the reviews with some excitement but they seemed a little too good to be true to be honest. The photos looked great so I decided to risk it and ordered them. Within a few days they arrived and I convinced myself as I opened the package that they would either be uncomfortable or an eye sore.I was immediately pleased and relieved by their appearance. I tried them on and within minutes my doubts and apprehensions disappeared. After a day of wearing them I was delighted. And further on they are everything I've been looking for and well worth the money. If only I had found these two years ago I'd have saved my self from wasting money on Doc Martens and converse I can't wear as well as the discomfort and aggravation these shoes caused my shins and knees.I will certainly be looking to Palladium for any future footwear needs. No wonder the French Foreign Legion adopted a Palladium boot for their footwear. Great quality, comfortable, practical and good looking. For me the perfect footwear.

I have just bought my second pair of these. I still have the first pair and have worn them pretty much daily for nearly three years. I wore my first pair on trips through Africa, the M.E. and Asia. Hiked up the Pen-y-fan with them and wore them everyday at a ranch where I worked in Canada's Rocky Mountains. I love the canvas...it breathes well and dries fast if wet. The rubber sole has hardly worn down despite the miles I have put on my first pair. As long as they keep making these I will keep buying them. If there was any negative, do not put them in the wash if they get dirty as the colour fades quite quickly with just one washing. My first pair are more off-white now than khaki. But would highly recommend these boots.

Solid, comfortable walking boots, and they also look pretty smart with a nice pair of jeans. My only minor complaint would be that they are a little heavy for a boot that is mostly canvas, but I'm sure I'll get used to that.

Important for me when ordering without trying on as I know they should fit, rather than try to get my feet to fit into a nearly right product. I chose the lighter Khaki colour.So, having got the size I need, I am happy with a light (in weight) pair of canvas boots, that are comfortable & look good. The soles are rugged enough to cope with most ordinary terrain, and I had spring / summer in mind when buying. Got that feel good factor since getting them & happy to endorse.

Comfortable, light, leather free footwear. Ideal for light use. Not a waterproof boot, but otherwise a very good, all round bit of footwear.

these boots are awesome. So comfortable and they look great. I got these for £14 on Amazon which is an absolute bargain. My first pair (which i now use for work) cost me £40 in a shop in Bluewater. But even at this price they are still great boots and worth the money.They look good with jeans, trousers and shorts, I am always in shorts as it is so hot at work and they look great with my shorts.The only slight problem is that you can sometimes get some pretty massive stones stuck in the soles!! They have a massive tread pattern and the stones get stuck in between but they are easy to flick out!I think the French foreign Legion use these boots and Palladium used to make aircraft tyres which can only be a good thing!

Never heard of this brand until came across it whilst browsing on Amazon - app they've got some pedigree stretching back 70 years, used by the French Foreign Legion etc etc. Interesting, but proof of the pudding's in the wearing as it were, and I love these!Canvas uppers so not waterproof, vulcanised rubber sole with prominent tread promises a long-life. Extremely comfortable with a molded padded insole, generous fitting so pretty much wear as you would with walking (not hiking) shoes/boots - thicker, padded sports socks are ideal. Looks fine with jeans, and of a style that'll really fit with cargo-style shorts.Am a newly converted fan to the boots, and the brand - I now know where I'm going to get my next pair of shoes from!

The media could not be loaded. Palladium boots are very comfortable while they last. This pair managed to go for a whopping 4 days of use before doing the usual of bursting at the canvas/rubber junction!
