Review on πŸ‘’ Palladium Men's Pampa Sahara Boots - Top-notch Footwear for Men by Brandon Mcvey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Probably the best boots in the world

I got my first pair of Palladiums on active duty. Having worn (and worn) dozens of brands and styles, I can safely say that most tactical shoes are bulky and awkward to wear (probably because the designers try to make them "indestructible" with huge stitching and straps. to make) and they were very durable on the feet and knees. This was particularly evident when standing or walking on shifts or assignments longer than 12 hours. One day a visitor came to the base where I was working with a pair of palladiums. I asked about them because they looked like the old cheap canvas "Israeli commando boots" I saw in junk catalogues, but they weren't nearly as cheap. The visitor knew a little about the brand and informed me that Palladiums used to make boots for the Israel Defense Forces but currently sell the boots as a fashion brand. The most important finding was that the visitor swore they were the most comfortable shoes they had ever had. I decided to try some of these and managed to find some that fit our uniform requirements. Short end of a long story: I *live* in them now. High top, baggy, pampas, it doesn't matter. Every 7 or 8 piece pair I've bought since has fit perfectly, is lightweight and has withstood heavy use for at least 2-3 years. I usually replace them for cosmetic reasons, not because they're really worn out. They look great and straddle the line between tactical and streetwear so well that they can easily be worn with uniforms and any casual wear. Sometimes they are even praised or asked about by strangers, which is unusual for boots. These items are sold in multiple locations and most sizes and colors are constantly running out. I usually have to hunt for a few weeks before what I wanted gets updated in a small run or in a slightly different style. TLDR: These are *those* boots you're looking for.

Pros
  • 100% cotton
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
