Welt construction stitches the lug outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace the sole when the tread wears down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does “unlined” mean for comfort?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather sits directly against your sock. It breathes better than a lined boot in hot weather and conforms to your foot as it breaks in — which makes this the 28 Series to reach for in warm weather. If you need a sealed membrane, the CA8528 is the waterproof version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a kiltie, and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fringed leather flap over the laces. It keeps sawdust, chips, and grit out of the lace area and shields the tongue from abrasion. Purely a preference — this one lifts off, so try the boot both ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a composite toe over steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth meet the same ASTM F2413 impact and compression thresholds. Composite weighs less and transfers far less cold, 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\u003eWhat safety standards does the CA8628 meet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composite toe meets ASTM F2413 impact and compression standards, and the boot is EH rated for electrical hazard protection; the rubber lug outsole is oil-resisting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the CA8628 fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. Unlined leather breaks in and molds to the foot over the first few weeks; the AG7 footbed is removable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230914896145,"sku":"726363695638","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230914928913,"sku":"726363695751","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222131266,"sku":"726363695645","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222164034,"sku":"726363695768","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230914961681,"sku":"726363695652","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230914994449,"sku":"726363695775","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222262338,"sku":"726363695669","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222295106,"sku":"726363695782","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915027217,"sku":"726363695676","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915059985,"sku":"726363695799","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222393410,"sku":"726363695683","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222426178,"sku":"726363695805","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915092753,"sku":"726363695690","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915125521,"sku":"726363695812","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222524482,"sku":"726363695706","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":32270222557250,"sku":"726363695829","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915158289,"sku":"726363695713","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915191057,"sku":"726363695836","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915223825,"sku":"726363695720","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915256593,"sku":"726363695843","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915289361,"sku":"726363695737","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915322129,"sku":"726363695850","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"15 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915354897,"sku":"726363695744","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"15 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230915387665,"sku":"726363695867","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/CA8628.jpg?v=1762525924","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-8-comp-toe-unlined-work-boot-brown-ca8628","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
