FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The CAT Surge Hiker is designed for rugged performance, but it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray if you plan on trekking in consistently wet or muddy conditions.
Are these suitable for long-distance backpacking?
Yes, they provide the necessary support for long treks, though comfort levels can vary by individual; ensure you have a proper fit before long-distance use.
How should I choose the right size?
We recommend sizing according to your standard athletic shoe size, but consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear while hiking.
Can I use these for casual daily wear?
While the sleek black design allows for casual use, they are optimized for performance and may feel firmer than standard lifestyle shoes.
What is the best way to dry these if they get soaked?
Remove the insoles, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area. Never force dry with heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first wear
Hiking shoes are often built with thicker support. Try loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks initially until the material breaks in.
Accumulation of mud in the outsole treads
Use a stiff brush or a stick to clear the gaps between the lugs after your hike to maintain optimal traction for your next trip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your CAT Surge Hiker shoes, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short walks on flat surfaces before embarking on long, strenuous hikes to allow the materials to mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt and mud with a soft-bristled brush after each outing. If the shoes become very soiled, use mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the adhesives and structural integrity.
- Storage: Always store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and potential odor.
- Compatibility: Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks for the best fit and moisture management during use.
