paLLadIumOriginally founded in 1920 as a tire company for WWII aircrafts, Palladium switched gears in 1947 after demand for their advanced rubber decreased dramatically, thanks to the end of the war. After that, they opened a footwear factory in Pont de Cheruy, France and created the legendary Pampa boot – a boot so tough, comfortable, and durable that they were worn in combat by the French Foreign Legion, an elite military unit. For over sixty years, Palladium has been producing authentic, rugged and cutting edge footwear and continues to be a world leader in quality.
