Fans of rugged desert-inspired boots will appreciate the Palladium 2013 Fall/Winter Collection. This lineup takes a bit of a turn with the new athletic-inspired designs in the Winter Sport Collection.
The boots are still the ones we know and love and can still take a real beating in the cold weather. They are specifically engineered for cold weather conditions with three distinct uppers for optimal warmth. The waterproof design is due to the insole boards and waterproof seal out stitching. The Winter Sport Collection adds some flavor to the existing models with the new Pampa Sport Cuff WP2 (which is made up of ballistic nylon and premium leather), the Palladium Pampa Hi Sport Cuff WP, and the Pampa Sport Baggy WP. Both of the latter boast leather designs and nubuck uppers. The last model (Pampa Sport Cuff WPS) is another addition with wool lining. Check out the Palladium lineup on its website now.
