Caterpillar Surge Hiker - Grey - Size: 8

The Caterpillar Surge Hiking Shoes offer water resistance due to their materials, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, waterproof-specific footwear is recommended.

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water and harsh cleaning agents, which can damage the waxy finish and underlying material.

Supercritical foam is a manufacturing process that creates foam with enhanced properties. In these shoes, it translates to superior cushioning, lighter weight, and better energy return compared to traditional foam, providing a more comfortable and responsive feel underfoot.

CLEANSPORT NXT™ uses natural probiotics to break down odor-causing bacteria. It's an effective, eco-friendly way to manage odor during regular use. For intense activity or heavy sweating, airing out the shoes is still beneficial.

Yes, the molded PU foam footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized support and comfort.

The SRX outsole is engineered for 'extreme slip resistance,' making it effective on a wide variety of surfaces including wet, oily, and dry conditions, as well as uneven terrain like gravel and dirt paths.

This is normal for new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the cushioning and materials to break in and conform to your foot's shape.

Ensure the SRX outsole is clean and free from mud, oil, or debris. Persistent reduction in grip may indicate wear on the outsole.

While equipped with CLEANSPORT NXT™ odor control, prolonged heavy use can still lead to odor. Ensure shoes are aired out after each use and consider using odor-absorbing insoles if needed.

The shoes are water-resistant due to the waxy nubuck but not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof footwear. Ensure seams are intact.
