Cat Footwear has released new styles and colors in this highly versatile and timeless travel-and-lifestyle quiver killer.

ROCKFORD, Mich. (For Immediate Release) – Cat Footwear, makers of modern, trend-setting boots and shoes, is celebrating the launch of the Advanced Walking Machines collection, a new line of all-terrain sneakers designed for urban trekking and now available to order at catfootwear.com/awm and at select retailers.

The Advanced Walking Machines collection was designed to be lightweight and durable with highly progressive styling. With stain-resistant, performance suede and soft breathable mesh uppers that protect against grime, Advanced Walking Machines were built for the modern urban trekker to be in constant control of their journeys while taking the road less traveled. 

To celebrate the launch of the Advanced Walking Machines collection, the brand launched the Cat Footwear Urban Trek Challenge, a multi-season integrated campaign encouraging people to discover new experiences in urban environments.

This year the challenge took place in Bogotá, Colombia, and will include social media and video series to encourage people to explore their own cities. Cat Footwear will be hosting a social media challenge asking consumers to share their city’s hot spots and hidden gems worth the trek.  

The winner of the contest will be invited to join the brand on their next Urban Trek trip for an all-expenses-paid adventure to experience the unique highlights and local secrets of a top international destination.

“The Advanced Walking Machines Urban Trek was inspired by our consumer’s love of travel and eagerness to uncover new places and adventures through unique experiences and cultures,” said Cat Footwear Chief Marketing Officer Janice Tennant. “From pavement pounding big city streets to the dirt paths of smaller towns, this shoe was designed with durability and all-day comfort to tackle the bucket lists of all adventurous trekkers.”

Ideal for adventure travel, backpacking, hiking, family travel, and daily life, it’s a shoe that’s tough enough to explore urban streets and local crags, remote airfields and volcano hikes, and everything in between.

The Cat Footwear Advanced Walking Machines collection is currently available online and from select retailers in the Crail Shoe for $100 USD and the Crail Mid Shoe in a variety of colors for $110 USD. Additional styles and silhouettes of the Cat Footwear Advanced Walking Machines collection will be released in 2020 and beyond at catfootwear.com.
