Frequently Asked Questions
What is a safety hiker and how is it different from a trainer or boot?
A safety hiker like the Caterpillar Elmore features a mid-height design that combines the best attributes of safety trainers and safety boots. It provides more ankle support and stability than low-cut trainers, making it suitable for uneven terrain and outdoor work, while maintaining greater flexibility and lighter weight than traditional full-height safety boots. The hiker design is ideal for workers who need versatility across varied environments, such as utilities workers, landscapers, light construction, and outdoor warehousing operations. The Elmore Hiker bridges the gap between athletic comfort and rugged durability, perfect for workers who transition between indoor and outdoor tasks throughout their shift.
What does wide-fit mean and who should choose this hiker?
Wide-fit safety footwear is specifically designed for workers with broader feet, providing extra room throughout the hiker to prevent discomfort, pinching, and pressure points. The Caterpillar Elmore Hiker is ideal for workers who find standard safety footwear too narrow, those with bunions, or anyone who prefers additional space in their work footwear for all-day comfort. The wide-fit design provides generous room in the toe box and midfoot area while maintaining a secure heel and ankle fit, ensuring comfort during extended shifts on varied terrain without compromising the stability and support that the hiker design provides.
What does S1P HRO SRC rating mean?
The S1P HRO SRC rating under EN ISO 20345:2011 provides comprehensive protection for versatile work environments. S1P includes steel toe cap tested to 200 Joules impact resistance, penetration resistant midsole to protect against sharp objects, antistatic properties, energy absorbing heel, and enclosed heel design. HRO adds heat resistance up to 300°C for contact with hot surfaces. SRC indicates the highest level of slip resistance, passing tests on both wet ceramic tile with cleaning agent (SRA) and steel with glycerol (SRB). This makes the Elmore Hiker suitable for light construction, outdoor warehousing, utilities work, and mixed indoor/outdoor environments with multiple hazards.
Does the Caterpillar Elmore Hiker run true to size?
Yes, the Caterpillar Elmore Hiker fits true to size in the wide-fit specification. We recommend ordering your regular UK shoe size. The wide-fit design provides extra room throughout the hiker, particularly in the toe box and midfoot areas, while maintaining a secure fit at the heel and ankle for stability on uneven terrain. The steel toe cap provides a more spacious toe box compared to composite toe footwear, enhancing comfort without compromising protection. Customer feedback consistently reports the Elmore Hiker is comfortable straight out of the box with minimal break-in period required. If you wear thick work socks or have exceptionally broad feet, you may consider ordering a half size up for additional comfort.
Is the Caterpillar Elmore Hiker waterproof?
No, the Caterpillar Elmore Hiker is not waterproof. The upper materials provide some natural resistance against light moisture and splashes, but this hiker is not designed for prolonged wet conditions, heavy rain, or standing water. The S1P rating focuses on toe protection, penetration resistance, heat resistance, and slip resistance rather than waterproofing. The Elmore Hiker is suitable for light outdoor work, mixed indoor/outdoor environments, and conditions with occasional moisture exposure, but for work requiring full waterproof protection such as outdoor construction in wet weather or utilities work in all conditions, consider safety boots with S3 WR or WP ratings. The breathable construction of the Elmore Hiker keeps feet comfortable during active work in dry to moderately damp conditions.
