FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, do not machine wash these trainers as the suede material and construction can be damaged by water submersion and tumbling.
How does the odor control work?
The shoes feature CLEANSPORT NXT, which uses beneficial probiotics to break down sweat and organic matter, preventing odors at the source.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While durable, they are made of suede and should be treated with a protective spray. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent water damage.
What kind of socks should I wear?
Breathable cotton or moisture-wicking synthetic socks will complement the shoe's internal lining and help keep your feet comfortable.
Are these suitable for hiking?
These are lifestyle trainers designed for urban environments, not technical hiking or rugged off-trail use.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing; order your usual size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dusty
Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled suede brush to lift the nap and remove trapped dust.

Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently buff the stained area until it lifts.

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any collected mud or oils that may be compromising traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Caterpillar Grapple Trainers last, proper maintenance is essential. Before the first wear, consider applying a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to guard against the elements. If the shoes become dirty, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a light application of a suede cleaning solution. Always allow the shoes to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack. Storing them in a cool, dry place will help the probiotic odor control remain effective for longer.
