Carolina notes that if the shoe is worn in an SD-necessary environment, any replacement insole or orthotic must itself be static-dissipative — and even then, the shoe may no longer test SD. If your workplace requires a verified SD reading, check with your safety officer before swapping the footbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much arch support does it have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarolina specifies the AG7™ polyurethane footbed as an enhanced-arch-support system. In practice, wearers who need substantial arch correction often add their own insert — the removable footbed makes that easy, subject to the SD caveat above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this shoe EH rated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CA1520 is ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative), not Electrical Hazard (EH). The two are different and mutually exclusive: ESD deliberately conducts static to ground, while EH insulates against contact with live circuits. Don't substitute one for the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo they need breaking in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a short break-in. Reviewers describe the shoe as firm out of the box, with limited give until it's worn a few times, so ease into full shifts rather than starting with one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the toe metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CA1520 uses a non-metallic composite toe, a non-metallic shank, and non-metallic hardware throughout — there is no metal anywhere in the shoe's structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat safety standards does the Braze CA1520 meet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe non-metallic composite toe meets ASTM F2413 for impact and compression, the shoe is ESD (electrostatic dissipative) to protect sensitive electronics, and the outsole is oil- and slip-resisting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina","offers":[{"title":"8 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993015057,"sku":"726363509256","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993047825,"sku":"726363509140","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775107,"sku":"726363509263","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775171,"sku":"726363509157","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993080593,"sku":"726363509270","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993113361,"sku":"726363509164","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775363,"sku":"726363509287","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775427,"sku":"726363509171","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993146129,"sku":"726363509294","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993178897,"sku":"726363509188","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775619,"sku":"726363509300","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775683,"sku":"726363509195","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993211665,"sku":"726363509317","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993244433,"sku":"726363509201","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775875,"sku":"726363509324","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":15245775939,"sku":"726363509218","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993277201,"sku":"726363509331","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993309969,"sku":"726363509225","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993342737,"sku":"726363509348","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993375505,"sku":"726363509232","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993408273,"sku":"726363509355","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 \/ Wide \/ Brown","offer_id":53230993441041,"sku":"726363509249","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/6454\/products\/CA1520.jpg?v=1762525411","url":"https:\/\/uverlookboots.com\/products\/carolina-mens-non-metallic-composite-broad-toe-esd-oxford-ca1520","provider":"Overlook Boots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
