FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some natural resistance to moisture, they are not classified as fully waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray for better water repellency.
How should I clean the soles?
Wipe the soles with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove mud or grit that may accumulate during daily use.
Are these suitable for heavy hiking?
The Colorado Gridlock Lo is designed for casual, everyday use and walking; it does not provide the ankle support or aggressive traction required for technical hiking.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This model is currently featured in a versatile black colorway.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require specific orthotic support, the factory insoles can typically be removed and replaced with your preferred custom inserts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Leather will soften and stretch slightly with use; try wearing them for short periods around the house to break them in.
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your CAT Colorado Gridlock Lo, begin by checking for a proper fit upon arrival. Since these are leather shoes, they may feel slightly snug initially but will adapt to the foot over time. Compatibility is high, as the neutral black finish pairs well with denim, chinos, or casual trousers.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly wipe away dirt and debris with a soft, damp cloth.
- Apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking.
- Keep the shoes away from direct heat sources to avoid damaging the leather finish.
- Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
