Full details
The CAT Colorado Gridlock is a durable, low-profile unisex shoe designed for adults seeking a blend of rugged utility and everyday casual style. Perfect for those who value long-lasting construction and a sleek black aesthetic, these shoes provide reliable comfort for daily activities and light urban exploration.

FAQs
Are the CAT Colorado Gridlock shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for general casual use and are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray if you plan on using them in wet conditions.
Is this a unisex shoe model?
Yes, the Colorado Gridlock is designed as a unisex product suitable for both men and women.
Can I use these for construction work?
While durable, these are low-profile shoes and do not typically feature steel-toe protection or the extreme stability required for heavy-duty construction environments.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot against the size guide to ensure a correct fit, keeping in mind the need for a comfortable width.
Are the insoles removable?
Most models in this series feature removable insoles, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
What is the best way to keep the black color vibrant?
Use a high-quality black cream polish occasionally to prevent the leather from fading or appearing dull over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Try wearing them for short intervals until the material naturally stretches to your foot.
Visible scuff marks on the black surface
Apply a black shoe polish or a specialized leather conditioner to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform black finish.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the insoles to air them out and use a cedar shoe tree or desiccant bags to absorb internal moisture overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your CAT Colorado Gridlock shoes, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Breaking In: Like most leather-based footwear, wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-safe cleaner compatible with black finishes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather or construction materials to crack or warp.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the laces and eyelets for wear, and keep the interior dry to prevent odor buildup.
