Carolina Men's Actuator 11" Composite Toe Waterproof Metguard Work Boot - Brown - CA8537
This men’s 11” waterproof composite toe D3O® internal metguard boot provides protection with the agility you need. Fortified with a D3O internal metguard and a carbon composite safety toe cap for a lightweight feel, this boot is also equipped with our waterproof SCUBALINER™ to help keep you dry in wet conditions. Key Features of the Carolina CA8537 Carbon Composite Safety Toe Cap — A carbon fiber weave cuts toe-cap weight while meeting ASTM F2413 for impact (I/75) and compression (C/75).

Removable Double Tuff Polyurethane Footbed & EVA Midsole — Cushioned support underfoot. Non-Metallic Shank — Composite support with no steel in it. Electrical Hazard Rated — Tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage. Welt Construction — Stitched, not bonded; fully resoleable. Slip-Resisting Rubber Outsole — Traction on wet and oily ground. How D3O® Works D3O® is rate-sensitive.
