For workers who want their gear made by the hands that understand hard work, the Carolina 8-inch men's Union Built work boot brings American craftsmanship, Old Town Folklore Leather Upper durability, and steel toe protection together in one dependable package. Built with welt construction, this Carolina work boot delivers a structurally sound bond between upper and outsole that holds together through the repetitive stress of long workdays without cracking or separating. 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. Underfoot, the polyurethane outsole delivers oil and slip resistance that gives workers the footing confidence to move quickly and work hard without watching every step on slippery surfaces. 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.
