Summer for most people means the start of a season that brings relaxation, vacation, and some much needed time off- even if only for the weekend or a happy hour. While most of us no longer have the luxury to have an entire 3 months off, (and if you do, take a few beach trips for us) vacation can still be a state of mind.

We’re here to help you jump into that state of mind with our Start of Summer Contest. We will be giving away an awesome group of prizes that will make your backyard the place to be this summer.

Kick the season off the right way with a new pair of Cat shoes suited for the warmer weather. We know we’re pretty good at making boots that stand up to the elements, and that includes the sun. Choose from our summer sandals and shoes for both men and women.

Quench your thirst with a cold beverage from a 55 quart Cat Cooler, which has up to 2.5″ of R5 insulated foam and 3/16″ thick, no break polypropylene walls. The cooler has a lifetime limited warranty and is sure to stand up to the toughest job site, and your weekend-long boat adventures. One lucky winner will also get a 4-pack of Cat Footwear koozies to bring along.

We’re also throwing in just as great prizes of two Cat bag chairs, Cat sunglasses, and a Cat BBQ set, which includes meat claws, Kansas City BBQ Sauce, Beef and Burger Rub, and a 5-in-1 Ninja Tool.

You could be our lucky winner. The Start of Summer Contest will begin Monday, June 18th, and end Monday, July 2nd. Enter to win on our Instagram post @catfootwear, and by following the details there.

Good luck!
