Palladium Boots

Okay, so i found out about these boots last year sometime and i been actually sitting on the opportunity to research them and as i actually predicted they are a boot with history and legacy. I can remember as a kid when I was into the old skool Aaliyah look and 'Moesha' times... these boots would of been perfect with some baggy jeans and a long baggy denim shirt. REMINISCING... I think i had a knock pair of these boots but they definitely were not Palladiums.... these are perfect for the winter right now, and I believe a good investment from their history, have a READ.



Palladium was founded in 1920 to make tires for the 
fledgling aviation industry. 
Tires were made by layering canvas bands underneath 
vulcanized rubber. 
Palladium’s expertise was so advanced that soon the 
majority of Europe’s aircraft were using Palladium tires.
After World War II, with aircraft manufacturing screeching 
to a halt, the demand for tires decreased dramatically. 
Palladium decided to open a plant in Pont De Cheruy, France, 
to start producing footwear that was as hard wearing as their tires. 
In 1947 the legendary Pampa boot was born, and the functionality, 
comfort and durability were so outstanding that the 
French Foreign Legion adopted it for their use. 
The Foreign Legion put the boot to the test in the harsh desert 
conditions of North Africa, and throughout the rugged terrain 
of the Atlas Mountains.
Today, the original design, classic lines and time tested 
utility are as relevant as they have ever been. 
Combining over 60 years of authenticity with modern 
manufacturing, premium materials and cutting edge styling, 
Palladium boots are ready to help you explore your street, 
your city, or the world.
