Composite weighs less and transfers far less cold — noticeable on a winter site or a cold warehouse floor — and suits environments where metal isn't appropriate. Steel is thinner, so it preserves slightly more room inside the toe box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the waterproofing last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCUBALINER™ is a sealed membrane rather than a surface coating, so it doesn't wash off. Conditioning the leather and keeping the seams clean is what keeps it working over the life of the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use my own orthotics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The PU and memory foam footbed lifts out. The CA5589 is EH rated rather than static-dissipative, so there's no SD rating to compromise by swapping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes and widths does the Cathode come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarolina builds it in D and 2E widths, sizes 8 through 14, including half sizes through 11½.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it insulated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cathode is non-insulated, though the composite toe helps — unlike steel, it doesn't conduct cold straight through to your toes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Cathode be resoled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCement construction keeps the boot light and flexible, so it isn't built to be resoled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936752401,"sku":"726363661329","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936785169,"sku":"726363661213","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":7263508987970,"sku":"726363661336","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":7263509020738,"sku":"726363661220","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936817937,"sku":"726363661343","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936850705,"sku":"726363661237","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":7263509119042,"sku":"726363661350","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":7263509151810,"sku":"726363661244","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936883473,"sku":"726363661367","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936916241,"sku":"726363661251","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":7263509250114,"sku":"726363661374","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":7263509282882,"sku":"726363661268","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936949009,"sku":"726363661381","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230936981777,"sku":"726363661275","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":7263509381186,"sku":"726363661398","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":7263509413954,"sku":"726363661282","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230937014545,"sku":"726363661404","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230937047313,"sku":"726363661299","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230937080081,"sku":"726363661411","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230937112849,"sku":"726363661305","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230937145617,"sku":"726363661428","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230937178385,"sku":"726363661312","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/carolina-mens-8-cathode-wp-comp-toe-work-boot-brown-ca5589.jpg?v=1762525693","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-men-s-8-cathode-wp-comp-toe-work-boot-brown-ca5589","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
