FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Caterpillar Axiom trainers are designed primarily for urban environments and casual wear. While the rubber outsole offers good traction, they may not provide sufficient ankle support or ruggedness for serious hiking trails.
What is the primary material used in the shoe?
The upper is crafted from a combination of waxy distressed leather and PU-coated suede. The lining and sock lining are made from 100% post-industrial recycled materials.
How do I clean the waxy distressed leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For best results and to maintain the finish, use a specialized conditioner or balm for waxy distressed leather.
Is the cushioning adequate for standing all day?
Yes, the molded PU foam footbed is designed to provide cushioned support for all-day wear, making them suitable for activities that involve prolonged standing.
What does 'post-industrial recycled lining' mean?
This means the lining and sock lining are made from materials that were byproducts of industrial manufacturing processes and would have otherwise been discarded, contributing to sustainability.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The waxy distressed leather offers some water resistance, and the rubber outsole provides traction. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. Allow them to air dry completely if they get wet.
What is the outsole model number?
The outsole is model T1557.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after initial wear
The molded PU foam footbed may require a short break-in period. Continue wearing them for short durations and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the size is correct.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner or balm specifically designed for waxy distressed leather. Use a soft cloth to gently rub the product into the affected areas.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for urban terrain, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution.
