On concrete, shop floors, decking, and roofing, that's the difference between comfortable at hour eight and not. On soft ground and ladder rungs, a logger heel bites better — different tool, different job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat \"Made in the USA with Global Parts\" Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boot is assembled in Carolina's Pennsylvania factory by union labor. Some components are sourced internationally, which is why the claim carries the qualifier.

Carolina offers this boot in D and 2E; because a steel cap does not stretch, size for room across the toes from day one, and if you're 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. Leather welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace the wedge when the tread wears down.\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 CA7505 and the CA8512?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame union-made 8\" steel-toe wedge in Old Town Folklore leather on a resoleable welt. The CA7505 has a plain toe; the CA8512 has a moc-toe stitch across the vamp with a slightly roomier forefoot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702067985,"sku":"726363701919","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702100753,"sku":"726363701803","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":45073764581649,"sku":"726363701926","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":45073779949841,"sku":"726363701810","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702133521,"sku":"726363701933","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702166289,"sku":"726363701827","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":44460648694033,"sku":"726363701940","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":44460648726801,"sku":"726363701834","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702199057,"sku":"726363701957","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702231825,"sku":"726363701841","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":44460648825105,"sku":"726363701964","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":44460648857873,"sku":"726363701858","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702264593,"sku":"726363701971","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702297361,"sku":"726363701865","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":44460648956177,"sku":"726363701988","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":44460648988945,"sku":"726363701872","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702330129,"sku":"726363701995","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702362897,"sku":"726363701889","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702395665,"sku":"726363702008","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702428433,"sku":"726363701896","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702461201,"sku":"726363702015","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230702493969,"sku":"726363701902","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/CLA-001-ca7505.jpg?v=1762529770","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-amp-usa-8-steel-toe-slip-resist-work-boot-brown-ca7505","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
