Why a Wedge Sole
A wedge outsole is flat from toe to heel, so your weight spreads across the whole footprint instead of concentrating under a raised heel. On concrete, shop floors, decking, and roofing, that's the difference between comfortable at hour eight and not. It's also why a wedge won't grip a ladder rung or soft ground the way a logger heel does.
What a Moc Toe Is — and Isn't
The moc toe is a stitch pattern, not a protective feature. It gives the boot its rounded, roomy front and its classic look. It adds no impact protection: the CA7070 is a soft-toe boot.
Why Choose the CA7070?
Waterproof, EH rated, comfortable on flat ground, and stitched so it can be resoled — for work where nothing is falling on your feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CA7070 have a safety toe?
No. Carolina builds the CA7070 as a soft-toe boot with no protective toe cap, so it does not meet ASTM F2413 impact and compression requirements. If your site mandates a safety toe, look at the CA7570 or CA7572 instead.
Is the CA7070 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. Carolina offers this boot in D and 2E; the moc-toe last is roomy through the forefoot.
Is it insulated?
No. The Staple Gun is waterproof but uninsulated, which suits three-season wear.
Can it be resoled?
Yes. Leather welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace the wedge when the tread wears down.
Does the EH rating still apply when the boots are wet?
Treat it as reduced. EH testing is performed under dry conditions; moisture, damp leather, and worn outsoles all degrade insulation. EH footwear is secondary protection — never a substitute for de-energizing a circuit or using primary PPE.
