Insulation ratings interact with your own circulation, sock choice, and how much you are moving, so treat it as a guide rather than a temperature promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CA4515 non-metallic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Carolina specifies a non-metallic shank on the CA4515 and the safety toe is composite rather than steel, so there is no steel in the boot's structure — lighter, and warmer at the toe in the cold this boot is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the insulation still work if the boots get wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Thinsulate traps air in microfibers rather than absorbing water, so it keeps insulating in damp conditions — and the SCUBALINER™ is there to keep the water out in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does cement construction affect the boot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sole is bonded directly to the upper rather than stitched through a welt, which keeps the CA4515 light and flexible from the first day with no break-in — and on an 800g-insulated 8\" boot, that weight saving is worth having. For a resoleable insulated boot, the CA9528 is built on a welt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should an insulated composite-toe boot fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarolina generally runs true to size — order the size you wear in sneakers, but allow for the heavier sock you'll wear with an 800g boot. The composite cap does not stretch, so size for room across the toes from day one; if you're between widths, take the wider one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229686817041,"sku":"726363532377","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229686849809,"sku":"726363532261","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245914627,"sku":"726363532384","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245914691,"sku":"726363532278","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229686882577,"sku":"726363532391","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229686915345,"sku":"726363532285","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245914883,"sku":"726363532407","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245914947,"sku":"726363532292","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229686948113,"sku":"726363532414","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229686980881,"sku":"726363532308","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245915139,"sku":"726363532889","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245915203,"sku":"726363532315","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687013649,"sku":"726363532896","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687046417,"sku":"726363532322","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245915459,"sku":"726363532902","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245915523,"sku":"726363532339","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687079185,"sku":"726363532919","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687111953,"sku":"726363532346","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687144721,"sku":"726363532926","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687177489,"sku":"726363532353","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687210257,"sku":"726363532933","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229687243025,"sku":"726363532360","price":184.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/CA4515.jpg?v=1762525411","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-8-waterproof-insulated-composite-toe-4x4-work-boot-ca4515","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
