FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Grapple trainers are designed for casual, everyday use and are not intended for athletic running or high-impact sports.
How does the odor control work?
The CLEANSPORT NXT technology uses beneficial probiotics that consume odor-causing bacteria, providing a natural way to keep your shoes fresh.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods only.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The suede material is not naturally waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality suede water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Caterpillar Grapple Trainers are generally designed to fit standard UK sizing. If you typically wear thick socks, you may want to consider your standard size.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dirt on suede surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift and remove surface debris.
Trainers feel tight after a long day
This is common due to natural foot swelling. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly in the morning to allow room for expansion.
Suede looks matted
Gently steam the affected area for a few seconds, then brush the nap of the suede in one direction to restore its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Caterpillar Grapple Trainers stay in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short periods initially to allow the suede to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Stain Treatment: If the suede becomes stained, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light application of suede cleaner.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede color from fading.
