Frequently Asked Questions
Is the toe metal?
It is a non-metallic composite toe.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — via Carolina's sealed SCUBALINER™ membrane.
Is it insulated?
The CA9852 is non-insulated. For 600g insulation, see the CA9851.
What safety standards does the Poplar CA9852 meet?
The composite toe meets ASTM F2413 I/75 C/75 for impact and compression, the boot is EH rated for electrical hazard protection, and the one-piece rubber lug outsole is oil- and slip-resisting.
How does the Poplar fit?
It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. Logger lasts run a little narrow through the toe, so if you are between widths take the wider one; the OVERTIME footbed is removable.
How do I care for the Poplar?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Crazy Horse leather is meant to scuff and darken; welt construction means a cobbler can resole it when the lug outsole wears.
