Make History Come Alive With Palladium Leather Boots

There are plenty of clothing brands that can talk about their long-running heritage, but very few can do so in a way that piques as much interest as Palladium. From its pre-war founding to its military uses, Palladium makes shoes for the ages.

Get to know Palladium’s history, then get their boots for yourself to become a part of the story.

Tire Manufacturer

In the ‘20s, Palladium was a manufacturer of aircraft tires. Sound like a far cry from making shoes? In some ways it is. But Palladium’s innovative canvas-and-rubber tires were just as ground-breaking then as their current designs are today. Wear your pair with a bomber jacket to give a subtle nod to this part of Palladium’s history.

World War II

Like many manufacturers, Palladium’s business was affected by war. When the Second World War ended and fewer airplanes were needed, Palladium began using its resources to make shoes instead of tires. The resulting boots were so sturdy and comfy that they were adopted as the footwear of the French Foreign Legion. Think of these legendary troops the next time you slip into camo pants and your Palladium boots.

Explorer’s Choice

In the ‘60s, Palladium became the footwear of choice for many of Europe’s finest explorers and adventurers. One geologist trusted the durability of his Palladium shoes so much that he wore them on volcanic expeditions. Get ready for rugged living in your own leather boots and a hiking backpack on your next outdoor excursion.

Today, you don’t have to be a soldier, an explorer or even a tire to benefit from Palladium’s fine craftsmanship—so go ahead and enjoy them.

Palladium leather boots make history every day.
