Comfort That Addresses the Real Problem
A DRi-LEX® lining pulls moisture off the foot, a Poron® Permafresh insole cushions while resisting odor-causing microbes and fungi, and a dual-density PU outsole absorbs shock through the day.
Lower Cut, Same Platform
The 6" shaft flexes more freely at the ankle and is quicker to pull on than the 8" Sarge Hi, on the same welted, resoleable build.
Why Choose the 1309?
A lower-cut American-made steel-toe boot with genuine comfort technology, a rebuildable welt, and a size and width range that fits feet other brands don't.

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. Union labor and domestic assembly
Should I choose the 6" 1309 or the 8" 1809?
The 6" shaft flexes more at the ankle, breathes better, and pulls on faster — better for shop floors and driving. The 8" supports the ankle on uneven ground and keeps debris out. Protection is identical: same steel toe, same steel shank, same welt.
Can the 1309 be resoled?
Yes. Welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper through a leather welt, so the dual-density PU sole can be replaced when it wears through.
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 — an unusually broad range for a safety boot.
