Caterpillar boots feature a label on the inside of the tongue. Check that the CAT logo, "Licensed Merchandise" should feature. Also, check that the details on the label match the details on the box label. Exact copy will vary according to style of boot.

Rugged casual footwear and desert boots can also be restored with a new Vibram resole, making an old pair of Timberland or Caterpillar boots as good as new. As with traditional walking boots, the resole is fully guaranteed and an excellent way of revitalising your favourite leisure boots.

In general we recommend the following guidelines for cleaning the footwear: Cleaning: on a regular basis, brush away any surface dirt with a soft brush. After extended, rugged use, wash with mild soap and warm water. Be sure to rinse all soap off.
