Having the proper footwear can either make or break your next hike. If you already own a work style boot, like the Caterpillar brand, you may be wondering –“Are these boots good for hiking?” Well, a good hiking boot fits snugly, has a rubber outsole for traction on slippery terrain, a flexible midsole for comfort, and a waterproof membrane to keep your feet dry. So, let’s find out if Caterpillar boots meet all of those criteria. Of course, the average Caterpillar boots’ longevity further solidifies why they’re a solid footwear choice for avid hikers. Many people report wearing their CATs on 20+ miles worth of hikes weekly and having these boots last for a year or more without breakage. However, you’ll notice that most Caterpillar boot listings label themselves as “imported.” Many people believe that the remaining CAT lineup hails from countries like China or Vietnam.

Boots

Many Caterpillar boot models are waterproof thanks to three methods: Seam sealing, liners, and leathers. These technologies essentially form a seal between the boots’ interior and any source of outside moisture (snow, rain, streams, or even a rogue hose). Caterpillar boots are reportedly made in America, though this fact is highly-disputed. After some research, it seems more likely that only specific CAT boot models are entirely American-made. For example, the Liberty boot gets its stitching from Michigan and steel toe from Wisconsin. You even have your choice between four color options, so select the pair that best matches your hiking attire!
