Comfort First
Heavily oiled leather that's supple from day one, a DRi-LEX® lining that pulls moisture off the foot, and a Poron® Permafresh insole that resists the microbes behind boot odor.
Built to Be Rebuilt
Welt construction stitches the dual-density PU outsole to the upper, so the 309 can be resoled rather than replaced.
Why Choose the 309?

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Carolina Sarge boots actually made in the USA?
Yes, with a qualification Carolina states plainly: assembled in Carolina's own Martinsburg, Pennsylvania factory by members of UFCW Local 1776, using globally sourced components.
Can the 309 be resoled?
Yes. Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper, so a cobbler can replace the sole when the tread wears down.
What sizes and widths does the Sarge come in?
Carolina builds it in B (narrow), D, 2E, 3E, and 4E, with some widths running to size 18.
What safety standards does the Sarge Lo 309 meet?
It is a soft-toe boot with no ASTM F2413 toe rating; it carries an EH electrical hazard rating under ASTM F2892. For a safety toe in the same boot, see the steel-toe Sarge Lo 1309.
Is the Sarge Lo waterproof?
It is a non-waterproof boot; the heavily oiled Pitstop leather sheds light moisture and can be treated, but there is no waterproof membrane.
How do I care for the Sarge Lo?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Oiled leather takes a conditioner well; welt construction means a cobbler can resole it when the polyurethane outsole wears.
