Room Where You Need It
The broad toe box gives the forefoot noticeably more space than a standard last — which matters most late in a shift, when feet have swollen and a normal toe box starts to pinch.
Cushioned and Dry
A Pillow Cushion™ memory-foam insole sits under the removable AG7™ footbed, and the sealed SCUBALINER™ membrane keeps water out without a surface coating that wears off.
Why Choose the CA8020?
A waterproof, EH-rated 8" boot with real toe room, for workers who want comfort and a dry foot rather than a safety toe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CA8020 have a safety toe?
No. The CA8020 is a soft broad-toe boot with no toe cap and no ASTM impact or compression rating. The composite-toe version of this boot is the CA8520.
What does “broad toe” actually mean here?
It's a wider last through the toe box, not a wider overall width. You still choose your normal width; the extra room is in the forefoot, which helps if your toes splay or your feet swell over a long shift.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The SCUBALINER™ is a sealed membrane rather than a surface coating, so it doesn't wash off. Conditioning the leather and keeping the seams clean is what keeps it working over the life of the boot.
Is it insulated?
The CA8020 is uninsulated, which makes it a comfortable three-season boot. If you need winter warmth, Carolina builds insulated models rated by gram weight.
Does the EH rating still apply when the boots are wet?
Treat it as reduced. EH testing is conducted under dry conditions, and moisture, damp leather, and worn outsoles all degrade insulation. EH footwear is secondary protection, never a substitute for de-energizing a circuit.
