Customer Reviews Palladium Pampa Hi

I LOVE this shoe. I have bunions and semi-flat duck feet. NO bunion pain. But what I love as a mature woman who still likes to look good is that these shoes are fun without making me look like I want to be 12 years old again. They are the first shoes I reach for whenever I have to do just about anything; run to the store, run the dog, run to meet my friends for lunch. They're cute and super comfortable. My 80-year-old mom, who passed on to me her shoe addiction, likes them too! I put in an insole for added comfort, and it fits in there just fine.

I wear a 9.5, a 9 in these was plenty large with socks. I wear them as my summer weight motorcycle boots. Comfortable from the first day. Good value. Fabric does stretch. I have a wide foot.

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!

Peach Whip color is super cute for Summer I wear a size 11 and am pale so dark shoes next to bear legs can make my feet look enormous. This color is fun and flattering. Nice with dresses or cropped pants. This is my third pair of Palladiums. They hold up really well. (One pair is my summer gardening shoe; the cotton is more breathable than rubber boots; they're filthy now but still in perfect shape!) Has a nice roomy toe box. As others said, highly recommend a gel insert for more support. They are not the quickest off/on shoe, but I'll trade that for how secure they feel on.

Great shoe, very stylish and durable. Great for hiking or a night on the town.

When I was just out of high school I got a job cooking in the kitchen of a restaurant. My dad bought me a pair of these shoes to wear to work and they were great kitchen shoes. Comfortable, supportive, quick drying when wet and also cool looking. Unfortunately our new puppy chewed them up and demolished them. I can't say I blamed him, as they had certainly absorbed all of the restaurant's cooking odors. I have been looking to replace them on and off ever since. I'm sixty years old now, and recently discovered that they were Palladiums (I couldn't recall the brand) and available on Zappos. Still just as comfortable and cool looking. I'm happy they're back in my life once again.

I have now owned these for two years, wearing them (for the most part) everyday in all weather (except rain, unless you weather-proof them). They are very durable and have great traction, except for ice. I have got narrow feet with extremely high arches, so these give me no support. I had to get a workman's arch support insert, which made these too tight on the top of the foot. If you do not have feet like this, you should be well off getting them. The laces tie well (good flat kind, not the terrible rounded laces) and are easily adjustable. The price sure made these a good investment as well.

I like to be different and part of being different is looking different. Hair and shoes is what women look at when admiring what women wear. Yeah, clothes too but shoes and boots bring out the whole attire. I love these particular boots because I wear them with a casual outfit. The color and style says something about my personality... it says, "wowwwww she's outgoing and would dare to do anything." Most of all they are comfortable.

Just a half size too small but overall I loved them and will be ordering a half size up.

I have 3 of these sneakers. Absolutely love them. They do run wide but I like that. The color I have Ecru paleblue and pink. They are very neutral colors and compliment alot of outfits. I would recommend

These high tops are super cute with jeans! The size is just right, and I stuck my orthotics inside for lots of comfort (there is not much support.) I would recommend these!

It's a really cute sneaker with the sole of a low profile hiking boot. I wear them for everyday casual wear. They are very comfortable considering that they have no arch support. I use arch inserts and they fit right in without making the shoe feel tight. They feel true to size, size 9, and true to width, maybe a smidge wider then average which works out for me.

I am usually a true 7.5 Womens. The 7.5 fit perfectly and true to size. I love the removable inserts. My orthopedic inserts fit perfectly. I was able to wear them all day right out of the box.

I already had these in green & loved those, so this pair in black was no disappointment. These were comfortable right away. I wear a 9 & have a wide foot. This Palladium style has been great relief for the neuroma on my foot; it has a roomy toe box. I really need my Protalus inserts, or the Dr. Scholl inserts, to help with my flat feet, though. These don't offer much support on their own.

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

These boots aren’t bad. I really want to love them, but the one drawback is how they rub on the front and back of your ankles! I bought thick, tall socks to wear with these boots because I know that tough canvas doesn’t feel great on skin. However, I still have marks and small blisters. Even just driving a car is uncomfortable as a result. I tried wearing them looser, but I might have to retire these guys before they’ve been totally worn. Overall I would definitely recommend them for hiking. The traction is fantastic and they are sturdy.

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.

Goes with everything! Very comfy and true to size

Time to order several more of these! After 6 weeks, my feet are the happiest they've been in a very long time. I have plantar's fasciitis and tendonitis. Unfortunately, my old shoes didn't hold my heel stable enough, so even with custom orthotics it was painful to walk. But these keep everything where it should be, and they look good in the process. Work, the yard, wherever — I wear them every day, everywhere. So far, the only downside is that the brand's circular label is coming off. But that's nothing a little glue can't handle. So now it's time to order a version to wax for winter and maybe one in nother color, just because.

Trust the French to design a shoe with style and comfort. These are brilliant. My husband got them for me as a gift in the pink raspberry color. We both think they're adorable. They run a bit large, so I sized down a half size. I wear them with bare feet and they feel great. I live on an unpaved gravel road in the country and I'm always getting stones caught in the tread, but it's no biggie. Oh, and they are the most comfortable shoes I own.

Nice shoes. I range between a 6.5 to 7. I like to go up to 7 in tennis because I walk a lot. These shoes are sturdy and comfortable to walk in. They didn't need any breaking in. Not as flat as converse, but not very much arch support. I walk about 20 blocks a day and these have been great. Not the most comfortable, but my feet aren't killing me at the end of the day either.

Agree with previous poster--these make great lightweight motorcycle boots. I love the way they look; added custom orthotics (which I can't use in most of my shoes) and they fit fine. I may be a Palladium convert, having tried Ecco and Converse, both of which make my size 10 feet look like canoes. Not these, though!

Bought white ones for summer and now these for fall. Why? Because they are comfortable, light weight and very cute! I can wear these all day with jeans or a skirt. My feet get cranky in lots of shoes but not these. Although there is not much arch support, there is a soft piece on the side of the arch that keeps the foot from pronating. If they came in a bright color I would buy them too!

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 liked the style, but there is NO padding inside of the foot, and they were a little lightweight for my needs.
