FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the Caterpillar Intruder trainers feature a soft and durable insole designed to provide exceptional comfort for everyday activities, making them suitable for prolonged wear.

How do I know if the 'Wide' width will fit me?

The 'Wide' width is the default design for the Intruder, catering to a broader range of foot shapes. If you typically find standard shoes too narrow, this width should be comfortable. If you have very narrow feet, you might find them slightly roomier, but the lace-up closure allows for adjustment to secure the fit.

Can I wear these for sports or serious running?

The Intruder is described as a 'street/performance hybrid' and is suitable for everyday activities, walking, and light running. However, it is not designed as a specialized athletic shoe for high-intensity sports or competitive running.

How should I clean the black suede material?

For black suede, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. It's best to avoid water, as it can stain or damage suede. If they get wet, let them air dry completely before brushing.

Are these shoes heavy due to the chunky sole?

The Intruder features a 'thick, rubber platform outsole' which contributes to its robust look and durability. While this adds to the shoe's overall feel, the design balances this with comfort features for everyday wear.

Do these shoes come in half sizes?

No, the Caterpillar Intruder trainers are only available in full UK sizes. If you typically wear a half size, it's generally recommended to try the next full size up or down based on your personal preference and foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or not secure.

The Intruder comes in a 'Wide' width as standard. If the fit feels loose, try adjusting the lacing technique for a tighter fit. Ensure you pull the laces evenly from the bottom up and tie them securely. Consider wearing thicker socks if you have a narrower foot, as the 'Wide' fit is inherent to the design.

Suede upper appears dirty or scuffed.

For light dirt, gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush, always brushing in the same direction. For more stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Avoid using water directly on the suede as it can stain or alter the texture.

Discomfort during prolonged wear.

While the shoes feature a soft insole for comfort, foot comfort can be subjective. Ensure you've chosen the correct full size. If discomfort persists, consider adding an additional orthotic insole for personalized arch support, ensuring it doesn't make the shoe too tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Caterpillar Intruder trainers come ready to wear. Simply unlace them sufficiently to comfortably insert your foot, then tighten the laces evenly from the toes upwards, securing them with a knot. Ensure the fit is snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement. The lace-up model is key to achieving the 'perfect fit' mentioned in the product description.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: These trainers are designed for adults.
  • Gender: The Intruder is a unisex shoe, suitable for all.
  • Sizing: Available in full UK sizes only. Please consider this if you typically wear a half size. The default width is 'Wide' due to the shoe's nature.
  • Usage: Ideal for everyday wear, including walking, casual outings, and light running.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Black Suede Intruder trainers:

  1. Suede Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used.
  2. Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush gently once dry.
  3. Outsole Maintenance: Clean the thick rubber outsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction. Ensure the sole is dry before storage.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation.
