FAQs
Are the Caterpillar Surge Hiking Shoes waterproof?
The product description does not explicitly state they are waterproof, but they are constructed with materials like waxy nubuck and nylon mesh which offer some water resistance. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion, consider additional waterproofing treatments.
What technology provides the cushioning?
The cushioning is provided by a combination of supercritical foam technology in the midsole and a lightweight foam heel filler, offering responsive and superior cushioning.
How effective is the slip resistance?
The shoes feature an SRX (Extreme Slip Resistance) outsole, engineered to provide a high level of grip on a variety of surfaces, including wet and oily conditions.
Can these shoes be used for everyday wear, not just hiking?
Yes, the Surge hiking shoes are designed with a modern aesthetic and comfort technologies that make them suitable for everyday wear, especially if your day involves a lot of walking or being on your feet.
What does CLEANSPORT NXT™ do?
CLEANSPORT NXT™ is a probiotic technology used in the lining to naturally control and prevent odor-causing bacteria, keeping your footwear fresh.
How should I clean the waxy nubuck material?
Wipe the waxy nubuck with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized nubuck cleaner or a soft brush can be used carefully. Always allow to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole is durable and lightweight, providing responsive cushioning and energy return to help reduce foot fatigue during activity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear with thin socks initially, and allow the shoes to break in. The molded PU footbed may offer some flexibility over time.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the SRX traction outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that could be hindering grip.
Foot odor after use
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. The CLEANSPORT NXT™ lining helps, but regular airing is crucial. Consider using anti-odor insoles if odor persists.
Discomfort after long wear
Check sock thickness and ensure proper lacing. The cushioning is designed for long wear, but ensure the fit is correct and the shoes are broken in.
