The Carolina 8-inch men's moc toe work boot pairs a hand-stitched moc toe design with the serious durability of a Old Town Folklore Leather Upper and welt construction that holds up through years of demanding daily use. Welt construction locks the upper to the outsole with a durability that holds up through demanding daily wear, giving the boot a structural integrity that outlasts cheaper construction methods across seasons of hard use. Inside, PORON Performance Cushioning in the insole provides responsive shock absorption that bounces back after every impact, maintaining its support level over years of daily wear, while breathable mesh lining promotes airflow inside the boot, helping regulate temperature and prevent the heat buildup that causes discomfort during active wear. For added protection on the job, Electrical Hazard rating provides secondary protection against open electrical circuits up to 600 volts in dry conditions. The dual-density polyurethane outsole is compounded to resist oil and slip on the varied surfaces of active job sites, delivering confident traction on wet floors, oily concrete, and loose terrain. The Carolina Union Built work boot is for workers who take pride in what they wear on the job, knowing every stitch was made in the USA by the same kind of hard-working people who will wear them.
