Step into comfort and safety with our 8" Barnyard Acid Resistant Waterproof Carbon Composite Toe Logger.
Ultra-durable boots equipped for wet, muddy ground and livestock environments. The 8” Pitstop carbon composite safety toe logger is fortified with waterproof and barnyard acid-resistant leathers and a shovel-worthy triple rib steel shank. Its Goodyear oil- and slip-resisting rubber outsole delivers essential traction on smooth and uneven terrain to keep you surefooted on slick, mucky surfaces.
Key Features of the Carolina CA8544
-
Carbon Composite Safety Toe — A carbon fiber weave cuts toe-cap weight while meeting ASTM F2413 for impact (I/75) and compression (C/75).
-
Brown Barnyard Acid Resistant Leather Upper — Treated against the caustic chemicals found in heavy industry and on farms and ranches.
-
Waterproof SCUBALINER™ — Carolina's sealed proprietary waterproof lining system.
-
Removable Kiltie — Keeps dirt and debris out of the lacing; comes off for cleaning.
-
Mesh Lining — Breathable against the foot.
-
Removable AG8™ Dual-Density Footbed — An update to the AG7, with enhanced arch support.
-
Triple-Rib Steel Shank — Heavy-duty stability, stiff enough to stand on a shovel.
-
Electrical Hazard Rated — Tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.
-
TripleFl3x Welt Construction — Stitched, not bonded; fully resoleable.
-
Goodyear High-Abrasion Rubber Lug Outsole — A biopolymer soling compound formulated to stay pliable in cold and grip in wet.
Built for Mud and Livestock
Acid-resistant leather survives what's on a barn floor, the sealed membrane keeps the wet out, and an aggressive lug tread clears muck instead of packing with it. The triple-rib steel shank is what lets you put your weight on a shovel edge without the arch giving.
About That Goodyear Outsole
This is a Goodyear-branded biopolymer soling compound — licensed from the tire company and built to keep its grip as temperatures drop, where ordinary rubber stiffens and glazes. It's a compound rather than a construction method, and it's separate from the welt that makes this boot resoleable.
What the Extra Two Inches Buy You
An 8" shaft supports the ankle laterally and keeps mud, gravel, and chaff out. It costs a little flexibility and a little heat. On broken ground or in a feedlot, the taller shaft earns its keep.
Why Choose the CA8544?
Waterproof, EH rated, acid-resistant, resoleable, with a shank built for real work — and ankle coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the CA8544 be resoled?
Yes. Welt construction stitches the lug outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace it when the tread wears down. The 6" CA7542 is built without a welt.
What does barnyard acid resistant mean?
The leather is treated to resist degradation from manure, urine, fertilizer, and similar caustic chemicals. It is not the same as chemical-resistant footwear for industrial solvents.
How is carbon composite different from standard composite?
Both are non-metallic and both meet the same ASTM I/C thresholds. A carbon fiber weave reaches that rating with less material, so the toe cap is lighter and slightly less bulky than a standard composite cap — worth having on an 8" welted boot.
What is the kiltie for?
It's the leather tongue flap over the laces. It stops chaff, sawdust, and grit from working into the lacing, and it lifts off when you want to clean the boot.
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.
