Frequently Asked Questions
What does wide-fit mean and who is it suitable for?
Wide-fit safety footwear is specifically designed for workers with broader feet, providing extra room throughout the shoe to prevent discomfort, pinching, and pressure points. The Caterpillar Striver is ideal for workers who find standard safety shoes too narrow, those with bunions, or anyone who prefers additional space in their work footwear. The wide-fit design provides generous room in the toe box and midfoot area while maintaining a secure heel fit, ensuring comfort during extended shifts without compromising safety or support.
What does S3 SRC safety rating mean?
The S3 SRC rating under EN ISO 20345:2011 provides comprehensive workplace protection. S3 includes a steel toe cap tested to 200 Joules impact resistance, a penetration resistant midsole to protect against sharp objects, water resistant leather upper, antistatic properties, and energy absorbing heel. 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 Striver suitable for a wide range of working environments with multiple hazards.
Is the Caterpillar Striver waterproof or water resistant?
The Caterpillar Striver features a water resistant leather upper, which means it resists water penetration and protects against workplace spills, light rain, and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof for prolonged water immersion or extremely wet conditions. The water resistant construction is ideal for indoor work environments, light outdoor work, and situations where feet may encounter splashes or damp surfaces but not standing water or heavy rain exposure.
Does the Caterpillar Striver run true to size?
Yes, the Caterpillar Striver 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 shoe, particularly in the toe box and midfoot areas, while maintaining a secure fit at the heel. Customer feedback consistently reports the Striver is comfortable straight out of the box with minimal break-in period required. If you prefer very thick work socks or have exceptionally broad feet, you may consider a half size up.
What industries and work environments is the Striver suitable for?
The Caterpillar Striver S3 is versatile safety footwear suitable for numerous industries including logistics and warehousing operations, light construction work, manufacturing facilities, transport and delivery services, and distribution centres. The combination of steel toe protection, penetration resistance, and slip resistance makes it ideal for environments with moderate hazards. However, for extremely wet conditions, consider fully waterproof footwear, and for high-heat environments or electrical hazard protection, specialized footwear with HRO or EH ratings would be more appropriate.
