The palladium Company was founded in 1920 to make tires for the fledgling aviation industry. They deveolped superior experties for vulcanizing rubber, combined with canvas bands, to make tires so advanced that they soon equipped the majority of Europe's aero planes.
After World War II, utilizing their vulcanizing rubber and canvas proficiency, Palladium opened a plant in pont de Cheruy, France, to produce footwear that was as hard wearing as their tires.
The functionality, comfort and durability of their unique shoe were so outstanding that the French Foreign Legion adopted it for their rugged use.
Today, the authentic design, classic lines, and time tested utility are enjoyed by explorers worldwide.
