Caterpillar Surge Hiking Shoes - Grey - Size: 9

The Caterpillar Surge Hiking Shoes are engineered for multi-terrain use, including light hiking and walking. For extreme or technical mountaineering, specialized boots with stiffer support and greater protection are recommended.

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the waxy nubuck. Avoid excessive water and harsh cleaning agents, which can damage the finish. Allow to air dry naturally.

CLEANSPORT NXT™ is a pro-biotic technology integrated into the lining and footbed that naturally controls odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep your footwear fresh.

Yes, the molded PU foam footbed is designed to provide comfort and can be removed if you wish to insert custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.

For optimal comfort and performance, moisture-wicking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended. These help manage moisture and enhance the effectiveness of the shoe's breathability and odor control features.

The Surge hiking shoes offer water resistance due to their materials and construction, but they are not fully waterproof. They can handle light moisture and brief exposure to wet conditions, but prolonged immersion or heavy rain may result in water penetration.

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

While the SRX outsole offers extreme slip resistance, all footwear has limits. Exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris which can impair grip.

The CLEANSPORT NXT™ technology helps manage odor. Ensure shoes are aired out thoroughly after each use and consider using moisture-wicking socks to further enhance freshness.

These shoes are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for nubuck and nylon, and wear waterproof socks.
