FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Caterpillar Intruder trainers are only available in full UK sizes. They also come with a default 'Wide' width. If you typically wear a half size, it is generally recommended to try the next full size up or down depending on your preference for a snug or roomier fit, taking into account the wider design.

Can I wear these for intense sports or running?

These trainers are categorized as a 'street/performance hybrid' and are suitable for 'everyday activities' and light running. While durable, they are not specifically designed for intense athletic performance or specialized sports activities where very specific support or features might be required.

What is the upper material made of?

The upper features a distinctive combination of mesh and nubuck. Nubuck is a type of top-grain leather that has been buffed on the outer surface, giving it a soft, velvety feel similar to suede.

How do I clean the thick rubber outsole?

The thick rubber platform outsole can be effectively cleaned using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. A soft brush can help to remove dirt and debris from the textured treads. Rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Is the 'Wide' width an option I choose?

No, the 'Wide' width is the default and only available width for Caterpillar Intruder trainers. This design choice is inherent to the nature and original silhouette of the shoe, not an optional selection.

Are these trainers heavy?

The Caterpillar Intruder trainers feature a 'thick, rubber platform outsole,' which contributes to their distinctive chunky aesthetic and robust construction. While this adds to their substantial feel, the design prioritizes durability and comfort, with the soft insole helping to balance the overall feel for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too wide or loose.

The Caterpillar Intruder trainers are designed with a default 'Wide' width. Ensure that you have thoroughly tightened the laces from bottom to top to achieve the most secure and snug fit possible. If still too wide, consider adding a thicker sock or a full-foot insole to take up extra space, ensuring the insole also fits the wide dimension.

Suede/Nubuck material looks dull or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and lift the nap of the material, restoring its texture. For more stubborn stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede/nubuck cleaner following the product instructions carefully. Avoid vigorous scrubbing or using water directly on the suede.

Discomfort during prolonged wear, despite soft insole.

While the trainers feature a soft insole, individual foot shapes and activity levels vary. Double-check that your laces are secured correctly – not too tight (which can restrict circulation) and not too loose (which can cause friction). If discomfort persists, consider replacing the factory insole with an aftermarket orthotic designed for cushioning or arch support, ensuring it is compatible with the 'Wide' shoe dimensions.

The thick sole feels too stiff.

The thick rubber platform outsole is designed for durability and a distinctive look. It may require a short 'break-in' period to become more flexible and conform to your foot's movement. Regular wear during everyday activities should help soften the sole over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Bold, Nostalgic Aesthetic: Appeals to those seeking a retro-inspired yet current chunky trainer look.
  • Exceptional Comfort: Soft, durable, and abrasion-resistant insole provides comfort for everyday wear.
  • Durable Construction: Features a thick rubber platform outsole built to last.
  • Secure Fit: Lace-up design allows for a precise and stable fit, important for activity.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable as a 'street/performance hybrid' for various daily activities.

Cons

  • Limited Sizing: Only available in full UK sizes, which may be inconvenient for those who typically wear half sizes.
  • Default 'Wide' Width: The shoe comes exclusively in a 'Wide' width, which might not be ideal for all foot types.
  • Suede Care: The suede material may require specific cleaning and maintenance to retain its appearance (Info needed: specific care instructions for suede from manufacturer).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare for Fit: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot into the trainer.
  2. Position Your Foot: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel sits comfortably against the back of the shoe.
  3. Lace and Secure: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom eyelets upwards, ensuring an even, snug fit across the top of your foot without being too restrictive. Tie a secure knot. A perfect fit against the foot is key for optimal comfort and stability.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Adult
  • Gender: Unisex
  • Sizing: Available exclusively in full UK sizes (e.g., UK 10). If you wear a half size, consider trying the nearest full size.
  • Width: Features a default 'Wide' width due to the shoe's inherent design.

Care

  • Cleaning Suede/Nubuck: For routine cleaning, gently brush off dry dirt and dust with a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede/nubuck cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using excessive water or harsh detergents, which can damage the material.
  • Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the material to crack or stiffen.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the material and shape.
