FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the CAT Giles Sandals are made of leather and are not intended for submersion in water or use in heavy rain.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
While they feature a high-traction outsole suitable for light trails, they are designed as casual trekking sandals and not for heavy-duty backpacking or technical hiking.
How do I clean the EVA sockliner?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the footbed and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
Do the straps stretch over time?
Like most leather footwear, the straps may undergo minor stretching with extensive use, but the adjustable design allows you to compensate for this.
What does 'cement construction' mean?
Cement construction is a shoemaking process where the sole is glued to the upper rather than stitched, resulting in a lighter and more flexible shoe.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel loose after walking
Re-adjust the straps while wearing the sandals to ensure they are properly tightened to your specific foot volume.
Footbed feels slippery
Ensure the footbed is clean and free of debris or grit, which can build up during outdoor use and cause surface friction issues.
Leather looks dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for footwear to restore the natural oils and finish of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup for the CAT Giles sandals is straightforward: adjust the straps to achieve a snug but comfortable tension across the instep and ankle. For best results, ensure your heel is seated firmly within the footbed. Regarding compatibility, these sandals are designed for standard adult male sizing. To care for your sandals, wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth after outdoor use to remove dust. If the leather becomes stained, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush. Keep the sandals away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high temperatures can cause the leather to crack or the adhesives in the cement construction to weaken.
