DICE Men’s 6” Waterproof Aluminum Toe Work Boot
Designed to withstand tough conditions, these boots feature a Dr. Soggy Carmel Cafe Barnyard acid-resistant leather upper for durability. The aluminum safety toe provides protection, while the waterproof SCUBALINER™ and mesh lining keep your feet dry and comfortable. With a removable AG8 PU dual-density foam footbed, electrical hazard rating, welt construction, non-metallic shank, and D.I.C.E. dual-density urethane outsole for chemical, heat, oil, and slip resistance, these boots offer both safety and comfort for long days on the job.

Built for Chemically Hostile Ground
Barnyard acids — the ammonia and organic acids in manure and animal waste — destroy ordinary work-boot leather and rot the stitching from the welt outward. The Dice pairs acid-resistant leather with a urethane outsole rated against chemicals and heat, which is why it lands in dairy barns, rendering floors, and processing plants.
Dry, Light, and Rebuildable
A sealed SCUBALINER™ keeps water out, an aluminum toe protects at less weight than steel, and welt construction means the outsole can be replaced rather than the boot.
Why Choose the CA6511?
A waterproof, EH-rated, aluminum-toe boot with genuine chemical and acid resistance on a rebuildable welt — for agriculture, food processing, and industrial floors that eat ordinary boots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is barnyard acid resistance, and do I need it?
Manure and animal waste release ammonia and organic acids that break down leather fibers and attack the stitching holding a boot together. Ordinary work boots fail at the welt within a season in a dairy barn. Acid-resistant leather slows that considerably. If you're not working around livestock or organic waste, you don't need it — but if you are, it's the difference between one season and several.
What does the D.I.C.E. outsole resist?
Chemicals, heat, oil, and slips. It's a dual-density urethane compound, which is what allows it to hold up to chemical exposure that would soften or crack a standard rubber lug outsole.
Can it be resoled?
Yes. Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so the D.I.C.E. sole can be replaced when it wears through — worth having on a boot in a chemically aggressive environment, where the sole usually goes first.
How does an aluminum toe compare to steel and composite?
All three meet the same I/C thresholds. Steel is the thinnest and least expensive, but the heaviest. Aluminum is markedly lighter than steel and nearly as thin, so it preserves toe-box room. Composite is the only fully non-metallic option and the warmest in winter, though bulkier at the same rating.
