Warm and Dry in Rough Weather
The SCUBALINER™ membrane seals out water while 600g of Thinsulate™ traps warmth — built for wet, cold outdoor work without heavy bulk.
Protection That Works Overtime
A steel safety toe and triple-rib steel shank deliver strong protection, and welt construction lets the boot be resoled and rebuilt rather than replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes and widths is the CA5823 available in?
We carry the black Elm in Medium and Wide, in sizes 7 through 14, with half sizes through 11½. Note that unlike the brown CA5821, this colorway is not offered in Extra Wide — if you need 4E, choose the brown.
Is 600g of insulation enough, or should I look at 800g?
600g suits cold, damp work where you stay moving — warm without overheating on a mild afternoon. Step up to 800g if you're stationary for long stretches in hard cold, since insulation ratings assume your own movement generates some of the heat.
Can it be resoled?
Yes. Welt construction stitches the outsole on rather than cementing it, so a cobbler can replace the lug sole when it wears through.
What safety standards does the Elm CA5823 meet?
The steel toe meets ASTM F2413 I/75 C/75 for impact and compression, and the boot is EH rated for electrical hazard protection.
Is the CA5823 waterproof?
Yes. Carolina's sealed SCUBALINER waterproof membrane sits behind the full-grain leather and keeps water out while the boot breathes.
How do I care for the Elm logger?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Use a black conditioner or neutral cream to keep the finish even; welt construction means a cobbler can resole it.
