FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are constructed with water-resistant materials like waxy nubuck and nylon mesh, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.
What is the primary advantage of the SRX outsole?
The SRX outsole is engineered to provide extreme slip resistance, offering enhanced safety and stability on a wide variety of surfaces, including wet and oily conditions.
How does the supercritical foam technology benefit the wearer?
Supercritical foam technology provides superior cushioning, reduced weight, and responsive energy return, leading to increased comfort and reduced fatigue during wear.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
What does CLEANSPORT NXT™ odor control do?
CLEANSPORT NXT™ uses natural probiotics to break down odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the shoes fresh.
What is the intended use for the Caterpillar Surge Hiking Shoes?
These shoes are designed for multi-season, multi-terrain, multi-function use, suitable for walking, light hiking, and daily wear where comfort and slip resistance are important.
What sizes are available for the Caterpillar Surge Hiking Shoes?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Reduced slip resistance
Ensure the SRX outsole is clean from mud, dirt, or debris. Excessive wear on the tread pattern may also reduce grip over time.
Noticeable odor development
While equipped with odor control, heavy use can still lead to odor. Ensure shoes are aired out after each use and consider using insoles designed for odor management.
