FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The CAT Grader Chukka is made of premium suede, which is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend using a quality suede protectant to help repel water.
Can I replace the footbed?
The boots feature a molded PU foam footbed. While it is designed for maximum comfort, it is not intended to be removed frequently.
How do I determine my size?
These boots follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for a size that allows room for medium-weight socks.
Can these be worn for hiking?
While the rubber outsole provides good urban traction, these are lifestyle boots and are not engineered for technical hiking or rugged trail terrain.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the Grader Chukka is crafted from high-quality suede, which is a split-grain form of leather.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the fibers back into their natural position.
Boots feel slightly stiff initially
Like most high-quality footwear, suede requires a brief break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors until the material softens to your foot.
Persistent odor inside the boot
Remove the footwear after use to allow the interior to air out completely and consider using a deodorizing spray specifically formulated for shoe linings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your CAT Grader boots maintain their quality, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Treatment: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a light application of a designated suede cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading. Use a shoe tree to maintain the boot's shape.
- Moisture Control: If the boots become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like hair dryers or radiators, as this can crack or stiffen the suede.
