On concrete, finished floors, and roof decking that's a real advantage — which is why wedges dominate framing, concrete, and warehouse work. On loose dirt or gravel, a lugged heel grips better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComfort First\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extra-thick Pillow Cushion™ footbed and broad toe box are the point of this boot.

If your site requires one, the CA8512 Amp is Carolina's USA-made 8\" steel-toe wedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CA8049 electrical hazard rated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is tested to withstand 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage, giving you EH protection even without a safety toe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be resoled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Goodyear welt construction stitches the wedge outsole to the upper with waxed yarn rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace the sole. That's unusual on a wedge boot at this price, and it's what lets a good pair last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"broad toe\" mean here?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wider last through the toe box, not a wider overall width. You still order your normal width; the extra room sits in the forefoot, which helps if your toes splay or your feet swell late in a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the CA8049 run true to size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarolina generally runs true to size — order the size you wear in sneakers and your normal width. The broad toe supplies the forefoot room, so there is no need to size up for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a wedge sole over a lugged heel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-contact tread and no defined heel. On flat surfaces like concrete, decking, and finished floors it spreads load evenly instead of concentrating it under a heel, and there is no heel edge to catch on a rung or a form edge. On loose dirt or gravel, a lugged heel grips better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"7 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657129233,"sku":"726363513239","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657162001,"sku":"726363513109","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7.5 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53221745099025,"sku":"726363513246","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53221745131793,"sku":"726363513116","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657194769,"sku":"726363513253","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657227537,"sku":"726363513123","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531406478,"sku":"726363513260","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531406542,"sku":"726363513130","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657260305,"sku":"726363513277","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657293073,"sku":"726363513147","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531406734,"sku":"726363513284","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531406798,"sku":"726363513154","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657325841,"sku":"726363513291","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657358609,"sku":"726363513161","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531406990,"sku":"726363513307","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531407118,"sku":"726363513178","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657391377,"sku":"726363513314","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657424145,"sku":"726363513185","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531407310,"sku":"726363513321","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":34531407374,"sku":"726363513192","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657456913,"sku":"726363513338","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657489681,"sku":"726363513208","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657522449,"sku":"726363513345","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657555217,"sku":"726363513215","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657587985,"sku":"726363513352","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Dark Oak","offer_id":53229657620753,"sku":"726363513222","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/CA8049.jpg?v=1762525451","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-8-broad-toe-wedge-work-boots-dark-oak-ca8049","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
