Room Where You Want It
The broad toe box is the point of this boot. Rather than tapering toward the front, it leaves the forefoot room to splay — which is what most people are actually looking for when they say a boot pinches. Combined with three widths, it fits feet that struggle in a standard last.
Light and Flexible Underfoot
Cement construction bonds the outsole directly to the upper, giving a lighter, more flexible boot that is comfortable from day one rather than after a break-in. The non-metallic shank supports the arch without adding metal.
EH Rated Without a Safety Toe
Electrical hazard protection does not require a safety toe. The CA5020 is certified to ASTM F2892, the standard covering EH footwear without a protective toe cap — so you get the electrical rating in a soft-toe boot.
Why Choose the CA5020?
A waterproof 6” soft-toe boot with a genuinely broad toe box, an EH rating, and cushioning built for standing. The pick when you want room, comfort, and waterproofing — and your site does not require a safety toe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this boot have a safety toe?
No, the CA5020 is a soft broad toe with no ASTM impact or compression rating, so it will not satisfy a site requirement for protective footwear. The CA5520 is the composite-toe version of the same boot.
How is it EH rated without a safety toe?
EH protection and toe protection are separate standards. The CA5020 is certified to ASTM F2892, which covers electrical hazard footwear without a protective toe — a legitimate rating in its own right.
Is there metal in the shank?
No. Carolina specifies a non-metallic shank on the CA5020.
What does a broad toe box change?
It gives your toes lateral room to spread instead of tapering them together. If you find standard work boots pinch across the ball of the foot, this is the shape to try — and it comes in Medium, Wide, and Extra Wide.
