Palladium Boots is a French footwear brand best known for its lightweight cotton canvas boots.[1] The brand is owned by KP Global.[2]
History
Palladium was initially founded to supply equipment such as tyres for the aviation industry in 1920. After the end of World War II, the brand shifted to making shoes with rubber soles.[3] The Palladium Pallabrouse boot was introduced in 1947 and was designed as a lightweight, quick-drying combat boot for the French Foreign Legion. Two years later, Palladium released the Pampa boot for the French paratroopers.[4][3]
