Cat Footwear Men's Neder Canvas Shoe

Update December 2016: May husband has three pairs of these shoes now. Two in cream and black, the first pair is the one I purchased in 2012, the second cream and black pair my husband purchased for himself in 2014, cat makes a black leather and grey one in this style too, he has those as well. The original pair now 4 years old is still wearable, unlike his vans from 4 years ago which are trash. They do have some cracking in rubber where the foot bends which i glued with jb weld two years back and he wore down the black rubber sole to the cream rubber under layer in one spot on the heel about a quarter inch square in size, but the 2 year old and 3 year old black leather shoes do not show these wear signs although the newer cream/black pair has about a 1/4" separation from rubber to canvas at the bend site...more jb weld in order here. My husband still wears these shoes in rotation every week year round and loves them. The ease of slipping them on is something he loves. He doesn't do much climbing in his job, mostly warehouse walking and desk sitting and working outside on blacktop. He isn't keeping his feet bent for long periods of time like other reviewers may be. unlike many other brands of shoes my husband has worn, he has chosen to purchase these multiple times and wears them more often than his palladium shoes, his vans, tevas, sketchers, sanuks, and golden fox shoes. We didn't expect to get years of use from these shoes since he is really hard on his footwear and these aren't a long term work boot like the golden fox boots he has. We are really satisfied with these purchases and how unearthed shoe looks in general. Original review: I am so impressed with the design and look of these shoes. I bought them for my husband for Christmas so I'll Update this with the fit of the shoe. But I cant believe his cool these are -and they're slip-one, no tying laces. The tension of the fit is quite snug so i doubt these will budge once they're on. The craftsmanship is so nice, the canvas and details are very trim and of good quality. I cant wait to give these to my husband, he 'll think I paid much more than I did. They are a little weighty, its not a minimalist running shoe, but they aren't terrible like some of my husbands dress shoes or work boots. I'll be back to update on the fit and wearability after Christmas. Husband and the whole family loved these. My husband said they were comfortable and he loved the style and color...I ordered the black and cream colored shoes. He wore them all day Christmas and all day at work today he said they felt good all day and everyone at work noticed them my husband was glad to share that they were slip ons too. No pulling away of the soles from the canvas that I can see yet. We are fans of these shoes and will buy this brand again. Ok update in march 2013: Husband uses these at least 3 times a week and does a lot of warehouse trekking for his job. Aside from the dirtiness...a big reason I didn't get something white bright white soles, these are working out great. I haven't noticed any pulling at the seams of the rubber and canvas and I have wiped them down with a soapy rag more than once. He loves slipping them off while he is at his desk in the mornings...something he can't do with his other work appropriate shoes. They still look really nice (when they're clean) and I think the fact that my husband chooses these consistently over his other 28 pairs of shoes speaks to the comfort and overall wearability. Update because I am ordering pair # 2 today-5-30-14! Coming up on father's day- thought I would have our son "give these" as his gift to his dad... These are my husband's favorite shoes...we just need another pair in case they stop selling these. We actually have talked about getting a second pair a few times-yes we talked about his shoe love. My husband still chooses to wear these several times a week-even when they don't match his clothes at all... They still look good over a year and a half later-I make sure and clean them every month or so-warehouse dust- The tread still looks pretty good- there are small cracks in the top of the rubber where the shoe bends...I have glued the canvas to the rubber-which had recently started to separate from the canvas-less than 1/4 inchx1/4 inch. I used a fabric glue-seems to be ok-its only been 2 weeks. Anyway- these are such an attractive shoe-both on and off the foot- I'm really fond of them weirdly and we are getting our second pair to make sure we can replace these when they wear out. really, truly, the best shoes I've gotten my husband and they are his favorite pair-obviously-that he has had in years. Just got pair number 2, in the gray leather-these shoes are sooooo nice-they look so expensive and well made-even more high end than the canvas ones- I just can't wait for father's day now so my Husband can wear them! The leather is nice and dark gray so these will work well with anything he needs to wear black shoes with-and because they don't have the cream rubber-can be worn with bright white socks or gray or black...I got him cream colored socks for the other shoes fyi so they didn't look weird.

This is the third pair of these shoes that I've bought. I'm glad that Caterpillar keeps making this style (maybe I should order in multiples). Anyway, just a good, stylish pair of casual shoes. I like that they are slip ons, and yet they are really comfortable walking shoes. I walk a lot whether at home or traveling and these are great for me. In fact, I have the first two pairs I bought and I still wear them, but I wanted a fresh pair that would look clean and neat.

The shoes fit pretty well. The one and only complaint I have is that they lack a bit of airflow, so your feet can heat up pretty quick. Just doing some normal walking around, my feet became sweaty as opposed to something like my etnies or pumas. That being said, everything else about these shoes are positive. They look really good. I was a bit worried that the black rubbery part at the front would be overly big and draw your eyes to that before anything else. That's not the case at all and the black shown is actually quite muted. The fit is spot on if not comfortably snug. Perhaps I didn't do enough reading on the product, but by the picture, I thought there were shoe laces to be tied. Not so. Be sure, these are slip on shoes and the laces shown in picture are a style kinda thing. I actually really like that because you get the convenience of a slip on shoe but a nice and neat lace look too. This gets a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 simply because the lack of ventilation and the fact that for the first few days of wearing, they were pretty squeaky and remain squeaky ONLY if they get wet on the bottom and then you walk on some kinda of harder floor. I live in Colorado and it's starting to get winter time, so these will be wet a lot due to snow. So the squeaky thing might get on my nerves in the future. If you like a slip on with a lace look, like a snug shoe, and want something that feels durable, these are pretty great.

Was looking for a unique black and grey slip-on and found these guys. I love their nod to Vans and skate shoes, and appreciate their chunky Keen-like quality as well. The leather and other details all seem very high quality. The pictures on Amazon are very accurate, so if they appeal to you then go for it! I also love that they feel nice and wide. Definitely digging them and will be checking out other shoes from Caterpillar.

Love the shoes, size fits accurately and shipping time, packaging and receipt were all very good and very satisfied . The soles on these say slip resistant however I work in a restaurant setting and though they may be resistant to water,moisture and spills they are not the best for grease so I wouldn't recommend them for that but every other aspect of the shoe is a thumbs up. Again service was very good and I would buy from this seller again.

Purchased in March of 2013.I was a bit anxious about buying shoes on Amazon without having tried them on first. Luckily, these fit fantastically. They are very comfortable, even for long periods of time, which is impressive since I have never found Converse style shoes to be particularly comfortable. I have not had any issues with the elastic straps wearing out and they are just as comfortable as the day I bought them, if not more so. Unfortunately, within 5-6 months, they were already starting to break down. The rubber strip along the side has split on both shoes where the shoe flexes and has started to pull apart from the shoe. Holes have developed in the canvas on both shoes and one sore has a sizable hole in the suade where my little toe is. I work a relatively stationary job so I wouldn't say I am rough on my shoes. It is disappointing as these seemed to be the perfect shoe in the first couple months. I may give the grey pair a shot since they are leather and might last longer but it looks like my quest for a solid casual shoe might be still in progress.

I loved the looks of this shoe first of all and I assumed (Correctly) that since Cat put their name on it that it would be of good quality. It does fit snugly because the laces are elastic at the ends on the inside. A little tough getting on, but once walking in them you're in Heaven. The true test for me was if I could wear them without socks. Yes! I give Cat an A+ on this stellar shoe.

Shipped just in time, product quality is supreme as Caterpillar is use to! They are slip on shoes, with fake elastics laces, did not notice it at picture but I love them! VERY comfortable. In the picture it seems to be whiter, in the reality it is not as white as the picture but I am really happy with my purchase. I am planning to buy another pair of a different color.

In the past 5 years I nearly wore nothing but CAT slip-resistant shoes, more specifically this model (different colors) and the model before it (with the regular lace, also different colors). I love the width they offer, which results in comfort and extra grip. I love the shape and look of the shoes, and I've always got compliments on how good they look, especially the black ones and the beige ones. As for the size, I'm used to the fact the CAT sizes are different and significantly larger than most other brands I tried. I used to wear 45-46 from other brands. With CAT I wear 43. As for durability and function, I owned at least 5 pairs before this one, and I used to wear them all year long, and each lasted at least a year, in a very hot country where it never gets below 0 Celsius. In Canada, I've learned that the word slip-resistant means absolutely nothing when there's snow. Also, the pair I brought with me broke within 2 months, but they weren't new, so I can't yet tell if these aren't suitable/designed for cold weather. I've tried these only twice since it's winter, so I can't tell anything yet, but I hope they'll turn out as reliable as the pairs I've owned before. As for the color, I'm not 100% sure, but I can't stop thinking that this exact pair model and color had significantly brighter laces, stitching and sides in the country where I used to live. These are kind of a lighter version of ecro (check the color in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beige), which is ok, but the black older model, which I didn't throw away yet, with the open laces, had cosmic latte (check the color in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beige) laces, stitching and sides, which gave a much better contrast, and looked amazing. And if I remember correctly, this model where I used to live also had cosmic latte. When I ordered, I thought the images here are wrong and that the real thing should be brighter, I was disappointed to find out that the pair is actually slightly darker than the images. Oh, by the way, If you were confused by the description where it says that these are leather, don't. They are fabric, which I personally prefer significantly over leather. I'll only update this review if this pair significantly less than I expect, which in my experience is around a year of continuous use.

very comfortable

I’m never buying shoes of the internet again. They’re difficult to return and frequently have comfort issues. I’ll adjust to these eventually but they make the back of my ankles bleed from rubbing against the back. It’s frustrating to say the least.
