FAQs

Are the CAT Axiom shoes waterproof?

No, they are made of leather and suede which are water-resistant but not fully waterproof.

Are the footbeds removable?

The molded PU foam footbed is designed to provide optimal support, but it is not intended to be swapped out for custom orthotics.

How should I clean the suede portions?

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. Avoid using heavy liquid cleaners on the suede sections.

Are these suitable for hiking?

These are designed for urban terrain and everyday wear, not for rugged off-road hiking.

What is the sizing fit like?

The Axiom generally fits true to size for an adult male, though you should allow for the typical break-in of leather footwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after long days

Feet often swell slightly during the day. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and loosen the laces during the afternoon.

Leather looks dull

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or wax polish to restore the sheen and maintain the waxy texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your CAT Axiom shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  • Break-in: As these are crafted from genuine leather, wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth to remove dust. Use a specialized leather conditioner periodically to keep the waxy finish supple.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
  • Protection: If you live in a wet climate, consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect the surface from light rain.
