CAT Footwear:

To celebrate the legacy of the Daytona 500 and commemorate Ward Burton’s 2002 victory at the famed race, CAT Footwear has developed a limited edition series of their best-selling Alaska work boot embossed with the esteemed NASCAR Winston Cup driver’s signature and his Bill Davis/CAT Racing car number (22). Of the 500 pairs that have been manufactured, each will be packaged with a letter of authenticity – 25 of which will be hand-autographed by Ward Burton and randomly placed into lucky consumers’ boxes. A limited number of the commemorative boots will be sold on the CAT FootwearWeb site [will be on the site Feb 10th] while the remaining will be available for purchase during race weekend (from a trackside tent) in Daytona Beach, February 13-16. Ten percent of the proceeds will benefit The Ward Burton Wildlife foundation , a charity created by the Daytona 500 winner to promote an awareness of the need for wildlife conservation, habitat enhancement, and proper stewardship of our natural resources through preservation and education. CAT Footwear creates shoes and boots designed for the active lifestyle of today’s youth. In addition to providing quality, durable men’s and women’s industrial boots and shoes, CAT Footwear strives to push the leading edge of casual footwear with specifically engineered offerings for men, women, and children.
