Both use the same broad composite toe and waterproof membrane, so the decision is coverage versus mobility, not protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does “broad toe” actually 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 is in the forefoot.\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 AG7™ footbed lifts out. The CA8520 is EH rated rather than static-dissipative, so there's no SD rating to compromise by swapping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat safety standards does the Bruno Hi CA8520 meet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broad composite toe meets ASTM F2413 I\/75 C\/75 for impact and compression, the boot is EH rated for electrical hazard protection, and the rubber outsole is oil- and slip-resisting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for the Bruno Hi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Crazy Horse leather is meant to scuff and darken; cement construction is not resoleable, so rotate pairs to extend the outsole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683179793,"sku":"726363516049","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683212561,"sku":"726363515936","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15246660995,"sku":"726363516056","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15246661059,"sku":"726363515943","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683245329,"sku":"726363516063","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683278097,"sku":"726363515950","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15246661251,"sku":"726363516070","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15246661315,"sku":"726363515967","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683310865,"sku":"726363516087","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683343633,"sku":"726363515974","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15246661507,"sku":"726363516094","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15246661571,"sku":"726363515981","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683376401,"sku":"726363516100","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683409169,"sku":"726363515998","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15246661763,"sku":"726363516117","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15246661827,"sku":"726363516001","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683441937,"sku":"726363516124","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683474705,"sku":"726363516018","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683507473,"sku":"726363516131","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683540241,"sku":"726363516025","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683573009,"sku":"726363516148","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229683605777,"sku":"726363516032","price":189.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/carolina-mens-bruno-hi-8-wp-comp-toe-work-boot-brown-ca8520.jpg?v=1762525414","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-8-waterproof-broad-composite-toe-work-boot-ca8520","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
