This shoe is ESD — static-dissipative. ESD deliberately conducts static charge to ground; EH insulates you from live circuits. They are opposite properties and mutually exclusive. If your work involves contact with live electrical circuits, an ESD shoe is the wrong choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace the footbed with my own orthotic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully. Carolina notes that in an SD-necessary environment, any replacement insole or orthotic must itself be static-dissipative — and even with an SD insole, the shoe may no longer test SD. If your workplace requires a verified reading, check with your safety officer before swapping the footbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I look after ESD footwear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarolina notes that SD footwear worn in static-dissipative environments requires special care to hold its rating. Keep the outsoles clean and free of insulating buildup, and follow Carolina's care guidance for the style. Where a workplace requires a verified reading, footwear is typically tested periodically rather than assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is carbon composite different from standard composite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are non-metallic and both meet the same ASTM I\/C thresholds. A carbon fiber weave reaches that rating with less material, so the toe cap is lighter and slightly less bulky than a standard composite cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does “broad toe” mean here?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wider last through the toe box, not a wider overall width. You order your usual width; the extra room sits across the forefoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat widths does the Duke Oxford come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt comes in Medium and Wide, in men's sizes 8 through 14.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841528593,"sku":"726363707461","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841561361,"sku":"726363707355","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":39491690791084,"sku":"726363707478","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":39491690823852,"sku":"726363707362","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841594129,"sku":"726363707485","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841626897,"sku":"726363707379","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":39491690922156,"sku":"726363707492","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":39491690954924,"sku":"726363707386","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841659665,"sku":"726363707508","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841692433,"sku":"726363707393","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":39491691118764,"sku":"726363707515","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":39491691217068,"sku":"726363707409","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841725201,"sku":"726363707522","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841757969,"sku":"726363707416","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":39491691413676,"sku":"726363707539","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":39491691446444,"sku":"726363707423","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841790737,"sku":"726363707546","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841823505,"sku":"726363707430","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841856273,"sku":"726363707553","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841889041,"sku":"726363707447","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841921809,"sku":"726363707560","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230841954577,"sku":"726363707454","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/CA5541-500xauto_Profile.png?v=1762526802","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-duke-comp-toe-esd-oxford-work-shoe-brown-ca5541","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
