Cat Footwear was born from a world of hard work, a world where you can build anything you want, and most importantly, a world where you can move the earth, with the correct pair of boots.

It all dates back to 1925 when Caterpillar was established by Benjamin Holt, the creator of the first track-type tractor partners with C. L. Best Co. This partnership brought forward the Caterpillar Tractor Co. 

From then on, the Cat Footwear work boot style became popular, not simply for being a durable work boot, but also, for becoming an iconic fashion symbol of the grunge trend in the United Kingdom. This paved the way for international expansion of the brand to take place, and soon, Cat Footwear became the choice for all, whether you were the person that required strong and protective footwear, or the fashionable influencer setting new trends.

Fast forward to the present time – Cat Footwear has come a long way, always improving on the designs of the different footwear styles yet staying true to their essence. Today, there is a wide selection of designs that speak to such a diverse client base.

Such as the Intruder, a bold sneaker with a chunky sole design and available in vibrant colours, making it ideal for the fashionable trendsetter. This iconic look adds that little something extra to your overall ensemble and is sure to set you apart from the rest.

On the other hand, some boots hold more of a work style design – such as the Bruiser 2.0. The outsole of this footwear style consists of durable rubber which allows for strong grip and traction. A soft EVA foam footbed, soft breathable nylon mesh lining, as well as Nubuck leather along the outer, allowing for longwearing comfort. 

There is even a style for those who prefer a more classic look. Designs such as the Trey 2.0 and Glenrock Mid– both are so different, yet both have the ability to add that extra something to your outfit, that you never even knew was missing.

Much like the design styles, Cat Footwear shares the stories of diverse influencers that show us what it means to work hard, make a difference, and empower others to do the same.
