Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the CA3526 and CA3026?
The toe — the CA3526 adds a steel safety toe to the same 6" waterproof Engineer platform. Choose the CA3026 soft toe if your job doesn't require ASTM toe protection and you want a lighter boot.
Why a steel toe rather than composite?
Steel is the thinnest safety toe at the same ASTM I/C rating, so it preserves the most toe-box room, and it's the most economical. Composite weighs less and stays warmer in cold; steel is the value choice.
How does cement construction affect the boot?
The outsole is bonded directly to the upper rather than stitched through a welt. That's much of what keeps this boot at a value price, and it lets the sole flex with your foot from the first day, with no break-in underfoot.
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.
