Customer Reviews Palladium Pampa Hi

The inserts certainly make these Pampas more comfortable than the last pair bought many years ago. I generally find international shoe size conversion charts to be somewhat inaccurate but Palladium's size chart was way off. After two returns/exchanges (thank you, Zappos for the excellent customer service) I found a full size smaller than marked fit me best.

These are cool shoes, dudettes! Removable insole and lug bottoms make these sturdier and thus healthier. The style is quite casual. You could pair them with a canvas grommet belt.

Love Palladium and love this shoe. Comfy and cool looking. Nice to find a women's shoe that has a little edge but is also so easy and feels good.

I love these shoes, they are super comfortable. I ordered a size 9 (that is the size that I usually wear). They run big, I will order my next pair in a 8½.

Nice leather free option. The canvas is a bit rougher than I would have liked. It's going to be a fuzzy magnet, but they fit well and look nice. Very versatile too. Would buy again.

I usually wear a size 8, but ordered a half size down because of past reviews and they fit perfectly. Some of the glue from rubber to canvas is visible but it's not an issue for me, just hoping they don't come loose like my Converse. Overall style of the shoe is great; they're casual and comfortable and I can wear them with practically anything.

I got these shoes because I liked the way they looked and I thought they would be suitable for me to wear all day at work. They felt quite narrow and had no support. I usually put arch support insoles in my shoes but they didn't fit in these. I still wear them sometimes but they weren't as comfortable as I hoped they'd be.

These are really cute, but I'm returning them for the leather version. The area where the upper seam hits the back of my ankle is very stiff, and I'd rather see the look of broken in leather than broken in canvas.

These shoes are pretty comfortable overall. My major complaints are about the build quality. For some reason one of the shoes has laces that are like 8" longer than the other. I also seem to get heel pains in one shoe (not blisters, though) which I find to be an odd problem since it has never happened before. The sole has a good grip and is not noisy when walking on slick surfaces. I would recommend them.

I wasn't used to wearing high tops before I got these boots, so it took a few days to break them in and get used to the feel. Super comfortable after that.

Keep the top eyelets loosely tied, and this is one of the most comfortable canvas boots out there: light, flexible, but supportive enough to work a full day on your feet. I experienced significant chafing around the upper ankle during the break-in period, but I am glad that I toughed it out. These are a daily staple now and otherwise incredibly comfy.

These high tops are so cute! I wore them the first time with a skirt...just funky enough for a mature professional woman on a day off. They rubbed my ankles a little at first because I wasn't used to wearing high tops but they were soft and needed no breaking in otherwise. Although I wouldn't recommend them for real hiking, as suggested in another review, they are really comfortable.

Pretty darn good shoe. My feet are pretty much normal width, except for the widest part of my foot (from the first knuckle of the big toe to the first knuckle of the pinky toe), which is a bit wider than average. This makes finding shoes that fit a real nuisance, as normal width shoes tend to pinch at the widest part of my foot, but wide width shoes won't stay on my feet. With these shoes, the first couple of weeks I wore them I was having the pinching issue again, but now that I've broken them in, they seem to have adjusted to my size and are more comfortable than the Converse I had been wearing. They are a bit clunky, but they are graciously lightweight for how tough they look. Definitely recommend this shoe if you're not really into sneakers but don't want a heavy pair of boots. Order half a size down! I'm almost always a 9 1/2, but with these I had to return them for a 9, and I still have plenty of room in the toe.

Super cute shoes/boot, looked exactly as pictured. Unfortunately I have large feet, size 10, and these shoes made me feel like I had big boats on my feet. The white toe really emphasized them and just didn't look right. Love Zappos.com though!

I wanted to love these shoes, but my feet are getting old and need more width and more arch support than these shoes provide. I like the style, they just weren't comfortable enough wearing them around the house to warrant keeping them.

I love that Palladium is eco conscious, so they were my go-to brand when I decided to get a pair of boots for work. I don't wear leather, and I don't want to support the plastics industry by buying PU, so canvas was what I was looking for. These are funky and cute, but unfortunately in my small shoe size they look more like sneakers than a boot (my workplace is business casual, but no sneakers allowed). They were also surprisingly stiff, and rubbed the heck out of my ankles for the 50 yards I walked in them. I have a really high arch & instep, and the orthotic sole of this shoe hit my foot in a really odd place. *sigh* I'm sad to send them back, but love Zappos for the ease of shopping and returns.

These boots did not fit properly.They look nicely made but not what I was looking for. Too clunky...

So cute, I wanted to badly for these to work but alas, no. They rub the back of my heel/ankle and do that weird bendy thing across the top of my foot at the toe joints when I walk which is uncomfortable and sort of sloppy feeling. Maybe b/c it's pretty stiff material? Pains me to return them b/c I like the style and the look of them.

I've had these only since February 9th, 2016. It is now only the middle of April. And just this past week I've become very very sad. The reason is because when I took these out of the box the day I received them, I fell madly in love. Fit, immediate comfort, support, style...all of it. Immediately when I first put them on, they had bounce to them! It was such an amazing feeling! There was no other shoe in my closet to wear after I received them! There was no break in time. I have a wide foot. No problem. Since February, they've been on my foot, morning to night. I didn't even want to take them off when I went to bed. It was wonderful. But in the last week, it's as though someone took a pin and deflated a balloon. Almost overnight, they lost their support. Now, by the end of the day, my feet are crying to get out of the shoe. It was that sudden. So I suppose I have to ask myself if the price is worth the short life span. It's not that costly of a shoe. But just a little more than two months?! Heavens no. I'm so disappointed. Therefore, my rating of overall and comfort reflects the average of the two polar opposites I've experienced in two months. I hope you have a better experience than I!

I saw someone wearing this boots and they looked so cool! Ordered a size 6, the pair that came was very big. I'm a true 6! So returned and ordered half size smaller. This one was too small! Disappointing... I'd say stick to your size, even if it feels a bit big.

After all the rave reviews, I was very optimistic about this shoe. But it's uncomfortably narrow in the forefoot, even though I went up a half-size. I may reorder a full size larger. (I don't have wide feet -- I'm a standard 6M, and ordered the 6.5.) The flatness of the shoe may also be a problem. Because of my high insteps I can't wear flat shoes. I would have to double up on heel lifts to make it work. Wish Palladium made this shoe with a 2" heel! Other than that: love the look, the color (Boue), and the rugged sole.

These have more arch support than you'd expect. I like the high-top feeling around my ankles. I wear a 9 (probably need a wide width), and these were on the edge of being too long, and were very snug in width, so they'll have to be returned. The color of the rubber is darker than in the photo - which I'd describe as cream - in person, it's more yellowish brown.

Not as comfortable as I had hoped but maybe with some good breaking in that will change. I love the look of the shoe...just wish it was more instantly wearable. My feet hurt! If I could return them, I would.

I tried them on & they fit fine.It wasn't until I took a walk with these shoes on that I noticed how uncomfortable they are. The tongue, under the laces, is made of 2 parts, with a thick seam going across (at the 3rd eye hole) that rubs the top of my foot. The lack of a padded insole is something I can add, but I can't understand why they thought this big lumpy seam across the tongue (& the wearer's foot) wouldn't make this shoe too uncomfortable to wear for more than a 15 minute walk

These shoes look amazing on my feet. However, they don't feel amazing to my feet. If all I was worried about was how they looked, I would keep them. They aren't that uncomfortable for short bursts of standing. But they don't feel that nice to stand in for long periods. I am returning them.
