FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The CAT Axiom uses waxy distressed leather, which offers a degree of water resistance, but they are not classified as waterproof.
Can I replace the footbed?
The Axiom is designed with a specific molded PU foam footbed for maximum support, so replacing it with a third-party insole is possible but may change the fit.
How do I best clean the suede panels?
Use a suede brush or an eraser specifically designed for suede to gently lift stains and restore the nap of the material.
What is the best way to store these shoes for long periods?
Keep them in a well-ventilated area with shoe trees inserted to help maintain their shape and wick away residual moisture.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Axiom series generally aligns with standard sizing. If you prefer a thick sock for winter, you may consider if your typical size allows for that extra volume.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after exposure to elements
Gently clean the surface and apply a leather conditioner to restore the waxy finish.
Shoe feels slightly tight initially
Leather naturally conforms to the foot; wear them indoors for short periods to break in the material.
Accumulation of debris in the outsole grooves
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge rocks or compacted mud from the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather shoes, they require minimal 'break-in' time, but proper care will extend their lifespan significantly.
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a leather protector spray suitable for waxy or distressed leather to guard against moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud from the suede and leather sections. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the waxy finish supple and prevent the leather from cracking.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to dry out and the rubber outsole to lose its integrity.
