FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of the CAT Colorado 2.0 Boots is crafted from full-grain leather, known for its durability and premium quality.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the Goodyear welt construction offers good water resistance, the boots are not fully waterproof unless specifically treated. We recommend applying a suitable leather waterproofing product for enhanced protection in wet conditions.
How do I clean my Colorado 2.0 boots?
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth, then use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the full-grain leather supple and prevent drying.
Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, thanks to the soft EVA foam footbed and padded upper collar, these boots are designed to provide long-wearing comfort and support, even during extended periods on your feet.
What is 'Goodyear Welt Construction'?
Goodyear welt construction is a traditional method where the upper, insole, and a welt (a strip of leather) are stitched together. The outsole is then stitched to the welt, making the boots exceptionally durable, sturdy, and resoleable.
What is the heel height of these boots?
The heel height of the CAT Colorado 2.0 Boots is 20mm.
Can these boots be resoled?
Yes, a significant benefit of the Goodyear welt construction is that the boots can be resoled by a skilled cobbler, extending their lifespan considerably.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for durable leather boots with Goodyear welt construction. Wear them for short periods initially (1-2 hours) and gradually increase wear time. The full-grain leather will soften and mold to your feet over time.
Leather appears dry, dull, or scuffed.
Clean the boots thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a quality leather conditioner to rehydrate and nourish the leather. For scuffs, a leather balm or polish matching the boot's beige color can help restore its appearance. Regular conditioning is key.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces.
Inspect the rubber outsole for embedded debris (mud, small stones) and clean it thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. Ensure the sole is dry before use. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider resoling the boots, a benefit of the Goodyear welt construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Wear (Setup)
Upon receiving your CAT Colorado 2.0 Boots, we recommend a short break-in period. Wear them for a few hours at a time during the first week to allow the full-grain leather to soften and mold to your feet, and the EVA foam footbed to conform. This will ensure optimal comfort and fit.
Compatibility
These boots are highly versatile. They pair well with:
- Workwear: Jeans, work pants, flannel shirts.
- Casual Attire: Chinos, cargo pants, t-shirts, sweaters.
- Outdoor Gear: Hiking pants, durable jackets.
Their timeless design makes them suitable for a wide range of activities, from light hiking and outdoor work to urban exploration and casual social events.
Care Instructions
Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your boots:
- Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe down the full-grain leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months, or more frequently if worn in harsh conditions. This helps to keep the leather supple, prevent drying and cracking, and maintain its natural luster.
- Water Protection: While the Goodyear welt offers some water resistance, consider applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather to enhance protection, especially if you anticipate exposure to wet conditions. Info needed: Not inherently waterproof.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a stiff brush and water to remove embedded dirt, which helps maintain traction.
- Drying: If your boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees can help maintain their shape.
