FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual hiking trails?
Yes, the Caterpillar Surge Hiking Shoes are designed for multi-terrain use, including moderate hiking trails, thanks to their SRX slip-resistant outsole and cushioned midsole.
How do I maintain the waxy nubuck and nylon mesh?
Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What does CLEANSPORT NXT™ do?
CLEANSPORT NXT™ is a probiotic technology applied to the sock lining that naturally controls odor-causing bacteria, keeping your shoes fresher.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The shoes offer good breathability due to the nylon mesh, but they are not waterproof. They can handle light rain and damp conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wetness.
What kind of support do these shoes offer?
They feature a molded PU footbed and an EVA midsole with a foam heel filler for underfoot comfort and responsive cushioning. They provide good support for walking and light hiking, but lack the ankle support of traditional high-cut hiking boots.
How is the slip resistance on different surfaces?
The SRX Traction Outsole is engineered for extreme slip resistance, providing reliable grip on a variety of surfaces including wet, dry, oily, and uneven terrains.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If they are new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, oil, or debris that may be hindering grip. The SRX technology works best on a clean surface.
Foot odor after extended wear
Allow the shoes to air out completely between uses. The CLEANSPORT NXT™ technology helps, but regular airing is crucial. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles if the issue persists.
Water seeping through the mesh
The nylon mesh offers breathability but is not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider a waterproof hiking boot. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.
