FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

These trainers are only available in full sizes, and they come with a default 'Wide' width. It's recommended to consider this wide fit when choosing your usual size. If you are typically a half size, it's often suggested to size up for comfort, especially given the wide fit.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The upper features a distinctive blend of mesh and nubuck, which is a type of top-grain leather. The outsole is made of thick rubber, and the insole is a soft, durable, and abrasion-resistant material.

Can I wear these trainers for sports activities?

While designed as a 'street/performance hybrid,' these trainers are best suited for everyday activities, walking, and casual wear. Their chunky design and thick sole provide comfort and stability for urban environments but may not be ideal for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.

How do I clean the nubuck upper?

For routine cleaning, use a soft brush designed for nubuck to remove dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized nubuck cleaner to a clean cloth and gently rub. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry completely.

Are these trainers heavy?

Given their chunky design and thick rubber platform outsole, these trainers have a substantial feel. This contributes to their durability and bold aesthetic, but they are not lightweight minimalist footwear.

Are these suitable for cold or wet weather?

The mesh and nubuck upper provides some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. For wet weather, consider treating them with a water-repellent spray suitable for nubuck and mesh. They offer reasonable insulation for cooler temperatures but are not specifically designed for extreme cold.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too wide.

The Caterpillar Intruder features a default 'Wide' width. While this contributes to comfort for many, if you find them excessively wide, try adjusting the laces more tightly. Thicker socks can also help fill out the space for a more snug fit.

Nubuck upper appears scuffed or dirty.

Gently clean with a dedicated nubuck brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper marks, use a slightly damp cloth with a nubuck-specific cleaner. Always allow to air dry completely.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur if the insole shifts or if there's moisture. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior of the shoe, ensuring both are completely dry, and then reinserting the insole properly. A small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole can also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, Retro Style: Stands out with its bold, chunky 90s-inspired design.
  • Exceptional Comfort: Features a soft, durable insole ideal for all-day wear.
  • Robust Construction: Built to be durable for everyday activities.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable as a fashion statement or for general daily activity.
  • Secure Fit: Lace-up closure allows for personalized and firm foot security.

Cons

  • Chunky Aesthetic: May not appeal to those preferring a minimalist or sleek footwear style.
  • Full Sizes Only: Customers between sizes may find fitting challenging.
  • Default Wide Fit: While comfortable for many, it might be too wide for individuals with narrow feet.
  • Specific Style: The 'Dad trainer' look is a specific trend, not universally favored.

Setup

Your Caterpillar Intruder Trainers come ready to wear. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The lace-up model is designed to secure your foot perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and stability for your chosen activity.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and are unisex, making them suitable for anyone. They are available in full sizes only (e.g., UK 11) and feature a default 'Wide' width, inherent to the shoe's design, to accommodate a broader foot shape. Ensure you consider this wide fit when selecting your size.

Care

To maintain the distinctive mesh and nubuck upper:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a specialized nubuck or leather cleaner, following the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
  3. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for nubuck and mesh materials to protect against moisture and dirt.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
