On concrete, decking, and finished floors that's a real advantage — which is why wedges dominate framing, concrete, and warehouse work. On loose dirt or slopes, a lugged heel grips better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Welted Wedge, Which Is Rare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost wedge boots are cemented, so when the sole wears through the boot is finished. This one carries an all-around Goodyear welt: the outsole is stitched the full perimeter and a cobbler can replace it. On a boot you'll wear on concrete every day, that decides how many years you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn 8\" Shaft on a Wedge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taller shaft keeps debris out and supports the ankle laterally. Paired with a flat wedge, it's the classic pattern for framing and concrete work — support up top, full contact underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the CA7002?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA resoleable, American-made moc-toe wedge for long days on hard, flat surfaces — for work that doesn't require a safety toe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSimilar Styles to Consider\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed a steel toe?

An all-around Goodyear welt stitches the wedge outsole to the upper around the full perimeter, so a cobbler can cut the stitching, replace the sole, and re-stitch it. That's uncommon on a wedge boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a moc toe, and does it fit differently?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moccasin-style toe: the upper is stitched in a U-shape across the front rather than seamed at the tip. It gives a rounder, roomier toe box than a standard last, which is much of why moc toes are known for comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these need breaking in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess than most. The Ortholite® insert and EVA insole give out-of-the-box comfort underfoot, and a wedge has no heel to fight. The leather still softens over the first weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CA7002 EH rated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is Electrical Hazard rated, tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the CA7002 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. The moc toe gives a rounder, roomier toe box, and the Ortholite insert is removable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322176273,"sku":"726363585755","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322209041,"sku":"726363585625","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322241809,"sku":"726363585762","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322274577,"sku":"726363585632","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322307345,"sku":"726363585779","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322340113,"sku":"726363585649","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322372881,"sku":"726363585786","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322405649,"sku":"726363585656","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322438417,"sku":"726363585793","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322471185,"sku":"726363585663","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322503953,"sku":"726363585809","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322536721,"sku":"726363585670","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322569489,"sku":"726363585816","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322602257,"sku":"726363585687","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322635025,"sku":"726363585823","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322667793,"sku":"726363585694","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322700561,"sku":"726363585830","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322733329,"sku":"726363585700","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322766097,"sku":"726363585847","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322798865,"sku":"726363585717","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322831633,"sku":"726363585854","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53478322864401,"sku":"726363585724","price":264.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/files\/CA7002-500xauto.jpg?v=1778177649","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-amp-8-wedge-work-boot-brown-ca7002","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
