With a wedge sole that spreads ground contact and reduces fatigue, and a moc toe box that gives toes room to breathe, the Carolina 8-inch men's work boot is built for long days on hard floors and active job sites. Carolina builds this boot with Goodyear Welt construction throughout, creating a structure that distributes stress evenly across the boot and stays intact through years of twisting, flexing, and impact from active work. 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. 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. A natural choice for workers in construction and the trades who demand all-day comfort on hard surfaces and find the wedge sole and moc toe design more comfortable than traditional heeled work boots. Question: Is the Carolina CA7002 boot water resistant ?

Question: What type of safety toe does the Carolina CA7002 have ?
The Carolina CA7002 features a steel safety toe cap that meets ASTM F2413 standards for impact and compression protection, making it a reliable choice for heavy industrial and construction environments.
Question: Is the Carolina CA7002 electrical hazard rated ?
Yes, the Carolina CA7002 is Electrical Hazard (EH) rated, meaning it provides secondary protection against accidental contact with open electrical circuits up to 600 volts in dry conditions, as defined by ASTM standards.
Question: What comfort features does the Carolina CA7002 include ?
The Carolina CA7002 features PORON Performance Cushioning in the insole, which provides responsive shock absorption that holds its shape over time and reduces foot fatigue through long workdays on hard surfaces.
Question: What construction method does the Carolina CA7002 use ?
The Carolina CA7002 is built using all-around Goodyear Welt construction, which stitches the upper, insole, and outsole together for exceptional durability. Goodyear Welt boots can also be resoled, extending the life of the boot significantly.
Question: What is the difference between a moc toe and a plain toe on a work boot ?
The moc toe on the Carolina CA7002 features a stitched seam across the toe that creates a slightly rounded and roomier toe box compared to a plain toe. This provides extra comfort for workers who are on their feet for extended periods and prefer a less tapered fit.
Question: What widths are available for the Carolina CA7002 ?
The Carolina CA7002 is available in multiple width options to accommodate a range of foot shapes. Carolina work boots are generally available in D (standard) and 2E (wide) widths, with select styles offering additional width options.
