Designed for comfort and durability, this rugged Wellington easily adapts to all different kinds of jobs.
It’s equipped with a removable footbed insert and an oil- and slip-resisting outsole and features a Carolina riff on the old skull and crossbones, with a hardhat-donning skull and tools.

Nothing Metal in the Boot
There is no toe cap, Carolina specifies a non-metallic shank, and as a pull-on it has no eyelets or lace hardware — so there is no metal anywhere in the CA7044. Where access points are detector-controlled, it clears them cleanly, and it stays light on the foot.
Why a Wedge Sole
The flat wedge puts the whole sole in contact with the ground instead of concentrating load under a heel. On concrete and flat decking that spreads pressure across the foot, and the absent heel means nothing to catch when you shift your footing on scaffold or a ladder — which is why wedges are a standing favorite among carpenters and steel workers.
Built to Be Rebuilt
Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than cementing it. When the wedge wears flat, a cobbler can replace it and you keep the upper you have already broken in.
Easy On, Easy Off
A laceless pull-on has no opening for sparks, chips, or mud to find, which is why wellingtons have stayed in favor with ranchers and welders. It is also simply faster at the start and end of a shift.
Why Choose the CA7044?
A 10” unlined moc-toe wellington on a resoleable welted wedge, with no metal in it and an EH rating. It is the pick for someone who wants a comfortable, characterful pull-on that works on the job and still looks right off it — and who does not need a safety toe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any metal in the boot?
No. There is no toe cap, Carolina specifies a non-metallic shank, and the pull-on design means no eyelets or lace hardware.
Why choose a wedge sole over a lugged heel?
Full-contact tread and no defined heel. On flat surfaces like concrete or decking it distributes load evenly rather than loading a heel strike, and there is no heel edge to catch on a rung or a scaffold plank.
Can this boot be resoled?
Yes. It is welt-constructed, so the wedge is stitched rather than glued and a cobbler can replace it when the tread wears down.
