FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The CAT Caterpillar Giles Trekking Sandals are designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities. While they offer good grip, they are not intended for strenuous or technical hiking.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow with a conditioner to maintain suppleness.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
The sandals can handle getting wet, but they are not designed for submersion. Ensure they are dried properly after exposure to water to maintain the leather's condition.
What is the best way to ensure a comfortable fit?
Utilize the adjustable straps to secure the sandals snugly but not too tightly. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box and heel.
Do these sandals come in other colors?
This specific guide refers to the Black variant. Other color options may be available depending on the retailer.
How should I store the sandals when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckles or Velcro are not obstructed by debris. Try adjusting the straps in a dry environment.
Leather feels stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner and wear the sandals for a short period to help them mold to your foot.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides grip, exercise caution on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly for optimal support and that the size is appropriate. Break them in gradually if they are new.
