If you're between widths, take the wider one; feet swell over a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan it be resoled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace the sole when the tread wears down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a composite toe over steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth meet the same ASTM impact and compression thresholds. Composite weighs less and transfers far less cold, which you notice at the toe cap on a winter morning. Steel is thinner, so it preserves slightly more toe-box room at the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it insulated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CA3603 is waterproof and uninsulated, which makes it comfortable across three seasons. For winter work, Carolina builds insulated models rated by gram weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the CA3603 EH rated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It's electrical hazard rated, tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat footbed does the CA3603 use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA removable dual-density EVA footbed with a memory-foam top layer and an improved heel cup; it comes out if you wear orthotics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821460753,"sku":"726363765430","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821493521,"sku":"726363765324","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":52635751645457,"sku":"726363765447","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":52635751678225,"sku":"726363765331","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821526289,"sku":"726363765454","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821559057,"sku":"726363765348","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":52635751776529,"sku":"726363765461","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":52635751809297,"sku":"726363765355","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821591825,"sku":"726363765478","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821624593,"sku":"726363765362","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":52635751907601,"sku":"726363765485","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":52635751940369,"sku":"726363765379","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821657361,"sku":"726363765492","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821690129,"sku":"726363765386","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":52635752038673,"sku":"726363765508","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":52635752071441,"sku":"726363765393","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821722897,"sku":"726363765515","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821755665,"sku":"726363765409","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821788433,"sku":"726363765522","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821821201,"sku":"726363765416","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821853969,"sku":"726363765539","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53229821886737,"sku":"726363765423","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/files\/CLA-001-CA3603.jpg?v=1761924297","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-gruntz-8-comp-toe-wp-work-boot-brown-ca3603","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
