Cheers Woof ... Will have to do some further investigation ... Who knows - I may even have some money left over to pay the mortgage ! 😎
They're like IDF boots...

Good boots them Palladiums. They were popular in the late 80s in my yoof.
Interesting, what scene was that? I still see them occasionally... a nice boot to see amid all the Air Wairs (not that I have anything wrong with Martens)...
I own these;

Great shoe. Worn with jeans and tshirt. Great when i don't want to wear sneakers or the weather is a bit shit and I am in "Action Dad" mode.

Remind me of 88 boots from my punk rock yoof.
I lived in Palladiums in mid/late 80s in my hairball phase and bought a pair from the Maxx a few years back...still a sterling shoe/boot for me..

Nice indeed GeorgieBoy - but still a tad expensive for plimsolls at 99 Euros? I showed Mrs Chuck the Real McCoys version and asked what sort of idiot would pay £250 for a pair of pumps - she retorted - "somebody like you ... "

Never come across the Spalwarts.. seem a great option too..
A for the Real Mac Daddies…I’m not sure I’d plunge even if moolah wasnae an issue?!?
I remain a bit of a trainers man on the side of course…so could easily spend it elsewhere of course..
Palladiums. Entirely new to me--knew nothing about these before this thread, but I just may have found my new favorite shoe. Will have to look out for them.
Not quite the same but I've got a pair of these and they're a bargain for £25!

That's a great buy Georgie.
Those Sperry CVOs will become a staple very quickly.
