Our men’s 8” waterproof steel toe Super Value work boot is a rugged, hardy boot at an excellent price.
Fortified with a steel safety toe cap, it's also designed with our proprietary waterproof SCUBALINER™ to help keep moisture from entering the boots, and set on an oil- and slip-resisting rubber outsole.

Welted and Rebuildable
The CA3557 stitches its one-piece outsole through a welt, so a cobbler can replace the sole when the tread wears down — often more than once over the boot's life.
Dry and Supported
The sealed SCUBALINER™ keeps water out, the Taibrelle lining moves moisture away from the foot, and a steel shank carries the arch on ladders and grating.
Why Choose the CA3557?
A no-nonsense waterproof steel-toe 8" boot that's rebuildable rather than disposable — a boot you can keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Installer be resoled?
Yes. Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than cementing it, so the one-piece rubber sole can be replaced when it wears through.
Can I use my own orthotics in it?
Yes. The cushion footbed is removable and Carolina lists the boot as compatible with aftermarket insoles and orthotics. The CA3557 is EH rated rather than static-dissipative, so there's no SD rating to compromise by swapping the footbed.
Is it insulated?
The CA3557 is uninsulated, which makes it comfortable across three seasons. For cold-weather work, the Surveyor CA3534 is the insulated counterpart with 400g of Thinsulate™.
Is the Installer electrical hazard rated?
Yes. It's electrical hazard rated, tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.
What widths does the Installer come in?
It comes in Medium and Wide, in men's sizes 8 through 14.
What safety toe does the Installer have?
A steel safety toe meeting ASTM F2413 I/C (I-75/C-75) for impact and compression.
