Caterpillar Colorado 2.0 Boots - Black - 7

The Caterpillar Colorado 2.0 Boots feature a full-grain leather upper, specifically black nubuck for this variant, with a textile lining and a durable rubber outsole. They also include a soft EVA foam footbed.

While the full-grain leather offers natural water resistance and the durable construction helps, these boots are not explicitly labeled as waterproof. For enhanced water protection, we recommend treating them with a suitable waterproofing spray for leather and nubuck.

These boots are listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Consider wearing the type of socks you typically would with these boots when trying them on.

Strobel construction is a method where the upper material is stitched directly to a fabric insole, creating a 'sock' that is then cemented to the outsole. This technique makes the boot more flexible, lightweight, and durable, while also reducing material waste.

Yes, the soft EVA foam footbed is designed for long-wearing comfort. If you wish to use custom orthotics or a different insole, it can typically be removed and replaced.

The robust leather upper and durable outsole make them suitable for cooler weather and varied outdoor conditions. While they offer some warmth, they might be too heavy for very hot summer days. They are versatile for spring, autumn, and mild winter use.

New leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The leather will soften and conform to your foot's shape over time. Using thick socks can also help.

Apply a good quality leather conditioner or balm specifically designed for full-grain leather. For nubuck, use a nubuck cleaner and brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth and conditioner.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the sole rubbing against the upper, or from the insole. Try removing the EVA foam footbed, applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch inside the boot, and then reinserting the footbed. If the squeak persists, it may be the outsole, which will usually resolve with wear.
