Full details

The Caterpillar Grapple Trainers are designed for adult men who need a reliable, lightweight sneaker for everyday wear. These shoes excel at providing a balance of casual style, consistent grip, and long-lasting freshness, making them ideal for daily commuting or light activity. A primary caveat to keep in mind is the suede construction, which requires specific care to maintain its appearance and durability compared to synthetic alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the trainers are made of suede and mesh, which are porous materials that are not waterproof.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as water and detergent can ruin the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure.

How does the CLEANSPORT NXT™ feature work?

It uses natural probiotics embedded in the lining that break down sweat and odour-causing bacteria, keeping your shoes fresh naturally.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Grapple series generally fits standard, but the suede material may offer some minor flexibility over time as they break in.

What should I do if the suede gets wet?

Gently blot the moisture with a clean cloth and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede material

Use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to gently lift the dirt. Do not rub vigorously as this can damage the pile.

Odour buildup over time

Ensure the shoes are stored in a dry, ventilated area. Allow them to air out for at least 24 hours between heavy uses to allow the CLEANSPORT NXT™ technology to recharge.

Loss of traction

Check the outsole for pebbles or debris lodged in the treads and wipe the bottom with a damp cloth to remove any slick residue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated probiotic odour control keeps shoes fresh.
  • Breathable design prevents overheating.
  • Sturdy rubber outsole offers dependable grip.
  • Casual aesthetic pairs well with most daily outfits.

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful cleaning and maintenance.
  • Limited suitability for rugged hiking or heavy-duty work environments.
  • Not waterproof, as the suede and mesh materials are porous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the laces for your preferred tension. To care for your Grapple trainers, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede surface. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can damage the suede texture. For cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner rather than standard detergents. To maintain the effectiveness of the CLEANSPORT NXT™ technology, allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated space after a long day of use, which helps the probiotic microbes function optimally.
