Caterpillar Intruder Trainers - Black Suede - Size UK 12

The Caterpillar Intruder is offered in full UK sizes only, and by default, comes in a 'Wide' width. If you typically wear a half size, we recommend trying the nearest full size and assessing the fit, keeping the wider design in mind. The lace-up closure allows for some adjustability.

For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. We recommend using specialized suede cleaning products and following their instructions carefully. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
