These are shoes from the Caterpillar brand. They are products of Caterpillar Inc., an American company known worldwide as a heavy equipment manufacturer. POWERED BY FLEXFWD TECHNOLOGY They are made of very light and soft fabric, making them comfortable to wear for long periods without fatigue. I think they should be fine in light rain. There is almost no wear on the heels. The back side has a rough texture due to the product's processing, not damage. There are no noticeable scratches. The soles show only slight wear, so they can still be used for a long time.
