FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The CAT Grader Chukka is durable and water-resistant for light exposure, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best to treat them with a protective spray for added resistance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the molded PU foam footbed can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or third-party insoles if desired.
Are these suitable for hiking?
These boots are designed for urban terrain and casual walking. They lack the ankle support and aggressive tread depth required for rugged, uneven hiking trails.
What is the best way to clean the sole?
Use a damp cloth with mild soapy water to wipe down the rubber outsole, then dry immediately with a clean towel.
Do these fit true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are a mid-cut boot, it is recommended to wear the socks you intend to pair with them when testing for the ideal fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly stiff out of the box
This is normal for new footwear. Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the material to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Interior is starting to develop an odor
Ensure the boots are allowed to dry completely between wears. You can also use a shoe deodorizer spray or cedar shoe trees to help absorb lingering moisture.
Surface marks on the suede
Use a suede brush or a clean rubber eraser to gently rub the affected area. Avoid using harsh soaps or water-heavy cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your CAT Grader Chukkas last as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing them for the first time, apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the material from environmental elements.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Moisture Control: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources like radiators, which can warp or crack the upper material.
- Fit Check: Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your environment to maximize the efficiency of the antimicrobial microfiber lining.
