Extended Product Information
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 water-repellent spray for added protection.
Can I replace the footbed?
Yes, the molded PU footbed is removable, allowing you to clean it separately or swap it with a custom orthotic if needed.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, consult a professional leather cleaner or use a designated suede cleaning kit.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Grader Chukka features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the suede material offers a slight amount of natural give over time.
Do they provide ankle support?
As a mid-cut chukka boot, they provide more ankle stability than a low-top sneaker but are less rigid than a full-height work boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on the first wear
Wear them with thicker socks for the first few days to gently stretch the suede and allow the PU footbed to mold to your unique foot shape.
Surface stains appearing on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dry surface stains. Do not use water or soap, as this can damage the texture.
Moisture inside the boot
Remove the footbed if possible and insert crumpled paper inside the boot to absorb excess humidity. Let them dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots arrive ready to wear without a significant break-in period thanks to the soft suede construction. Because they are made from genuine suede, avoiding excessive exposure to rain or deep mud is recommended to preserve the nap of the leather. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For ongoing care, use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust and dirt. To maintain the 'syrup' color tone, consider using a suede protector spray designed for light-to-medium brown leathers to help repel light moisture and stains.
