Caterpillar is a world famous brand, although it is not yet that often, that it gets recognised for its footwear, but rather for its bulldozers of all type and size, which are heavily used for all sorts of constructions all around the world. Caterpillar brand is however getting a growing attention from those who look for daywear hiking shoes and high quality fashion items too. Let us look at the brand, its story and the availability of Caterpillar shoes and fashion apparel in Singapore.
Caterpillar’s story starts in the 1890’s when heavy constructions were necessary in order to raise cities, factories in the heavily developing United States. Caterpillar introduced new technologies in terms of building and construction works, with its lighter and easily moving industrial machines and bulldozers. The logo of caterpillar (CAT) is still to be seen everywhere in the world, when it comes to constructions. Caterpillar is the founder of the mini bulldozers used everywhere because of their extra small size, which makes the machines very easy to navigate, even in smaller places. Caterpillar is undoubtedly among the biggest industry machine building and developing companies. This is where the idea came from, in order to make the brand popular in other industries too.
A few years ago, Caterpillar gave the rights to use the brand logo for the creation of high quality footwear and safety wear for a production company called Wolverine World Wide, which deals with the production of several footwear brands. Caterpillar shoes today are produced for both men and women.
