What Barnyard Acid Resistance Actually Does
Manure, urine, and fertilizer are chemically aggressive. They attack ordinary leather and rubber, and a boot that shrugs off rain will still come apart in a dairy barn or a feedlot. Barnyard-acid-resistant leather is treated to withstand that exposure — which makes the CA7072 a farm and livestock boot as much as a jobsite one.
A Welt You Can Resole
The leather welt is stitched through the upper and insole, and the outsole is stitched to it. That seam can be cut and re-stitched, so the boot outlives its first sole — which matters most on exactly the kind of ground that eats soles.
Why Choose the CA7072?
Waterproof, EH rated, acid-resistant leather and a replaceable sole — for barn and farm work where nothing is falling on your feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CA7072 have a safety toe?
No. The CA7072 is a soft-toe boot with no protective toe cap, so it does not meet ASTM F2413 impact and compression requirements. The CA7572 is the same boot with a carbon composite toe.
Is the CA7072 true to size?
Carolina generally runs true to size — order the size you wear in sneakers, unlike Red Wing or Thorogood, which tend to run large. If you're between widths, take the wider one; feet swell over a shift.
What does barnyard acid resistant mean?
The leather is treated to resist degradation from manure, urine, and fertilizer — the chemicals that destroy ordinary work boots in dairy barns, feedlots, and stables. It is not the same as chemical-resistant footwear for industrial solvents.
Can it be resoled?
Yes. Leather welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than bonding it.
