Caterpy

Whether you're running, hiking, commuting, or spending time outdoors, a secure and comfortable fit makes all the difference. Caterpy focuses on exactly that, offering elastic no-tie laces that let you get your shoes on fast, maintain a consistent fit, and eliminate the hassle of laces coming undone mid-activity.

Elastic Laces for Outdoor Activity and Everyday Use

The brand originates from Japan and has built its system around a distinctive construction featuring elastic nodules that maintain tension between the eyelets. This allows the wearer to fine-tune the pressure across different zones of the shoe without constantly re-tying.

Caterpy laces perform equally well during intense activity and daily wear. They're a popular choice among runners, hikers, athletic footwear users, and anyone who values quick on-and-off convenience combined with all-day comfort.

Comfort and Fit Without Traditional Lacing

The elastic construction helps distribute pressure evenly across the foot, improving comfort during extended wear. The ability to set tension individually along the length of the lace makes it easy to dial in the fit to your preferences and the demands of your activity.

The Caterpy system requires no additional clips or mechanical locks. Once the laces are threaded, the shoe can be slipped on and off like a loafer while still providing a stable, secure hold during movement.

• elastic construction for improved all-day comfort,
• individually adjustable tension along the full length of the lacing,
• quick and easy on and off,
• no more laces coming undone during activity,
• compatible with a wide range of footwear types.

Built for Running, Outdoor Use, and Everyday Activities

Caterpy develops products for training, urban, and outdoor footwear. The elastic laces are well suited to trail marches, travel, and any activity that involves frequent shoe changes.

A wide range of colors and length options makes it straightforward to match the laces to virtually any shoe — from lightweight athletic footwear to more technical hiking constructions. Durable materials and resistance to daily wear make Caterpy a go-to choice for those looking for practical EDC accessories and outdoor gear.
