FAQs
Are the CAT Grapple shoes water-resistant?
While the suede material is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray for suede to provide protection against light moisture.
How does the CLEANSPORT NXT odor control work?
CLEANSPORT NXT utilizes pro-biotic technology embedded in the shoe lining to break down sweat and eliminate odors at the source.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Submerging suede shoes in a washing machine can damage the material and affect the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While they offer good traction for city environments, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for technical hiking or rugged wilderness trails.
What is the best way to clean salt stains from the suede?
Gently dab the area with a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar, then brush the area once dry to restore the nap.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface
Use a specialized suede brush to gently stroke the nap of the material to remove loose debris.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure that the laces are pulled tight through every eyelet and consider a double knot if the provided laces are slightly slick.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Check if the removable EVA insert has shifted; remove and re-seat it, or consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear directly out of the box, though it is recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before first use to guard against moisture and stains. Because the upper is crafted from suede, avoid deep soaking the material. To clean, use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as excessive heat can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. Regularly using an odor-neutralizing spray or rotating your footwear can also extend the lifespan of the interior materials.
