FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of suede, which is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend using a suede protector spray.
How does the probiotic odor control work?
The CLEANSPORT NXT treatment uses beneficial probiotics that consume odor-causing bacteria, providing natural and long-lasting freshness.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Spot cleaning is the recommended method.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Grapple series features a standard fit. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, consider testing your size carefully for the best comfort.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, providing a durable and aesthetic finish.
Troubleshooting
Surface stains appearing on the suede
Gently rub the stained area with a clean eraser or suede cleaning stone, then brush in the direction of the nap.
Water spots after rain exposure
Lightly dampen the entire surface with a clean cloth and let it dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then brush to restore the texture.
Soles feeling slippery on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are free from debris or mud; clean with a damp cloth to restore the natural grip of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Caterpillar Grapple Trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the suede and internal structure to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the trainers in water.
- Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading and hardening.
- Odor Maintenance: While the probiotic technology is self-regulating, allowing the shoes to air out for 24 hours between heavy usage days will further enhance the effectiveness of the odor control.
