The moc-toe last is roomy through the forefoot, and because a steel cap does not stretch, size for room across the toes from day one; if you are between widths, take the wider one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it really made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, assembled by union labor in Carolina's Martinsburg, Pennsylvania factory using globally sourced components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be resoled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace the wedge when the tread wears down. It's the feature that lets a good pair of boots last a decade.\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 shop 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 slopes, a lugged heel grips better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the CA8512 and the CA8012?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame union-made 8\" moc-toe wedge in Old Town Folklore leather on a resoleable welt. The CA8512 adds an ASTM-rated steel safety toe; the CA8012 is the soft-toe version for work that does not require one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230476951825,"sku":"726363754137","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230476984593,"sku":"726363754021","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676335377,"sku":"726363754144","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676368145,"sku":"726363754038","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477017361,"sku":"726363754151","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477050129,"sku":"726363754045","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676466449,"sku":"726363754168","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676499217,"sku":"726363754052","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477082897,"sku":"726363754175","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477115665,"sku":"726363754069","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676597521,"sku":"726363754182","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676630289,"sku":"726363754076","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477148433,"sku":"726363754199","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477181201,"sku":"726363754083","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676728593,"sku":"726363754205","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":48901676761361,"sku":"726363754090","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477213969,"sku":"726363754212","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477246737,"sku":"726363754106","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477279505,"sku":"726363754229","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477312273,"sku":"726363754113","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477345041,"sku":"726363754236","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230477377809,"sku":"726363754120","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/files\/CLA-001-CA8512.jpg?v=1753306499","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-amp-8-steel-toe-moc-toe-wedge-work-boot-brown-ca8512","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
