Carolina Lightweight Composite Toe Work Boots with Side Zipper
The Carolina Lightweight Composite Toe Work Boots with Side Zipper are men's 8-inch waterproof work boots built around the Carolina Subframe construction. The CA5552 combines a Utopia Dark Coffee leather upper with a non-metallic composite safety toe, waterproof SCUBALINER™, mesh lining, and a side zipper with lace-up closure.

The composite toe meets ASTM F2413-18 requirements for impact and compression protection.
Features
- Utopia Dark Coffee Leather: The 8-inch upper uses Carolina's Utopia Dark Coffee leather for the brown finish of the Subframe work boot.
- Composite Safety Toe: The non-metallic composite toe is designed for environments where a steel toe is not appropriate and meets ASTM F2413-18 standards for impact and compression testing.
- Waterproof SCUBALINER™: Carolina's proprietary waterproof lining system helps keep moisture from entering the boot during wet working conditions.
- Side Zipper & Lace-Up Closure: The combination of traditional laces and a side zipper provides two methods of securing the boot while making entry and removal quicker.
- Mesh Lining: Mesh lining is incorporated into the interior of the boot as part of the Subframe construction.
- Removable Dual-Density EVA Footbed: The removable footbed can be taken out when replacing or changing the insole.
- EVA Midsole: An EVA midsole is used between the footbed and outsole as part of the lightweight Subframe construction.
- Non-Metallic Shank: The boot uses a non-metallic shank instead of a steel shank, making it suitable for worksites where non-metallic components are preferred.
- Non-Metallic Hardware: The Subframe construction uses non-metallic hardware throughout the boot.
- Electrical Hazard Rated: The CA5552 is electrical hazard rated, with Carolina specifying footwear testing up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.

- Oil & Slip Resisting Rubber Outsole: The rubber outsole is designed to meet standards for oil and slip resistance.
