Why a Square Toe
A square toe gives more room across the ends of the toes than a rounded last, without widening the boot overall. Toes splay under load, and on a logger — where you're often pushing down through the front of the foot on a slope — that extra room across the front is what you feel.
Comfort That Lasts the Shift
The OVERTIME™ footbed pairs a dense PU undercarriage molded for arch support with a memory-foam top layer that contours to your anatomy. The two-layer design is what keeps it supporting you late in the day.
Why Choose the CA9855?
A waterproof, resoleable composite square-toe logger for forestry and jobsite work — protective, dry, and comfortable through a full shift.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually makes a boot a “logger”?
The heel and the shank. A logger has a raised, tapered heel that digs into slopes and catches ladder rungs, an aggressive lug tread, and a stiff shank so your arch doesn't collapse when you're standing on a narrow edge. On flat concrete all day, a wedge sole is the more comfortable choice.
Can the CA9855 be resoled?
Yes. Leather welt construction stitches the lug outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace it when the tread wears down. On a logger the sole almost always wears out before the leather does, which makes this the feature that decides the boot's lifespan.
Why choose a composite toe over steel?
Both meet the same ASTM F2413-18 impact and compression thresholds. Composite weighs less and transfers far less cold — worth having on an outdoor boot in winter — and suits environments where metal isn't appropriate.
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 boot's life.
