FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The CAT Surge Hiker is designed for durability and stability; while they handle damp conditions well, they are not explicitly marketed as fully waterproof.
Are these suitable for long-distance backpacking?
Yes, their focus on stability and support makes them a great choice for long treks where foot fatigue is a concern.
Do I need to size up for thicker socks?
It is generally recommended to account for the thickness of your preferred hiking socks when determining your fit, as they may occupy more space than standard casual socks.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the internal architecture allows for the removal and replacement of the standard insole with an aftermarket version if you require custom arch support.
How do I ensure I have the correct fit?
Ensure there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing to prevent toe jamming during descents.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during initial wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the material to conform to your feet.
Build-up of dirt or mud in the tread
Use a stiff brush to dislodge debris from the soles after every hike to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure your CAT Surge Hikers are properly laced to match your foot's arch profile. To clean these shoes after a muddy hike, remove excess debris with a soft brush and clean the outer material with a damp cloth; allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the footbed materials.
