Why Lace-to-Toe
Running the lacing all the way to the toe lets you tighten or slacken the fit across the entire instep rather than just the ankle. On a logger, where you are working across cambered ground and want the foot locked in place, that control is the whole point — and it is why fallers have favored the pattern for decades.
Built to Be Rebuilt
Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than cementing it. When the lugs wear flat, a cobbler can replace the sole and you keep the broken-in upper.
Steel Where It Counts
A steel toe and a triple-rib steel shank make this the sturdier end of the Spruce range. It is a heavier build than a composite equivalent, and that mass is doing structural work on rough ground.
Why Choose the CA9825?
A black waterproof lace-to-toe logger with a steel safety toe and a welted, resoleable sole. The pick when you want a proper logger with ASTM-rated toe protection and the option to rebuild it rather than replace it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does lace-to-toe actually do for me?
It extends adjustment across the full instep instead of stopping at the ankle, so you can lock the foot down or open it up depending on the terrain and how your foot swells through the day.
Can this boot be resoled?
Yes. It is welt-constructed, so the outsole is stitched rather than glued and a cobbler can replace it when the tread wears down.
What sizes and widths does Carolina make this boot in?
Carolina lists the CA9825 in sizes 7 through 14, in D, 2E, and 4E widths, with half sizes available through 11½.
