I love these shoes! I have been wearing Chuck Taylor high-tops for years...but no more. These have good support and are extremely comfortable. I work on my feet and these are my favorite!

Nice boots. They are unique. Bought them as a replacement for my sneakers. Will take some time to break into. But comfortable after that.

Very cute shoes! However, the only thing (and deal-breaker) that I don't care for is that the top bruises your leg. I didn't lace the very top and it still rubbed my leg.

These shoes are very nice and I appreciate them for the sturdy feeling they give me. They're similar to converse in the way that arch support is only mildly present, but I purchased a pair of ten dollar insoles and all is well with these shoes now. If you don't lace them up all the way they're relatively easy to slide on and off but still stay put when you need them to. Like others have said, they need some time to break them in - but after a week or two they're just fine. They also seem to be rather durable. These are probably one of my favorite pair of sneakers/boots I've ever owned.

I have a pair of the Pampa Hi in the Otan/Army Green, and they are great shoes. They required no break-in time at all, and turned out to have much better cushioning and arch support than I expected from such a reasonably-priced shoe. My only quibble is that I wish the toe shape was slightly more rounded, but that's a personal preference. I get frequent compliments when I wear these boots, so clearly the styling is attractive. I'd recommend that anyone purchase a pair of Palladium boots.
