About this product
The Quad CA4025 is a 5" waterproof 4x4 hiker — terrain-gripping, breathable, and light at 3.41 lbs per pair. An abrasion-resistant rubber toe bumper protects the leather, and a sealed SCUBALINER™ keeps your feet dry.

Hiker Feel, Work Boot Sole
Mesh panels and a 5" cut keep the Quad breathable and quick on the foot, while the 4x4 outsole's aggressive multi-directional lugs bite on trail, gravel, and wet ground.
Light All Day
At 3.41 lbs per pair, the Quad weighs less than half what a welted logger does. Over ten thousand steps a shift, that difference is what your legs actually notice.
Why Choose the CA4025?
A lightweight, waterproof, EH-rated hiker for workers who cover ground and don't need a safety toe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the abrasion-resistant toe a safety toe?
No — and this is the most important thing to know about the CA4025. The rubber toe bumper protects the leather from scuffing; it offers no impact or compression protection and carries no ASTM rating. If your site requires a protective toe, choose the carbon composite CA4525.
How much does it weigh?
3.41 lbs per pair in Regular (D) width — light enough to feel like an athletic shoe, which is much of the point of the Quad.
Are the mesh panels still waterproof?
Yes. The SCUBALINER™ is a sealed membrane behind the entire upper, mesh included, so breathability doesn't come at the cost of a wet foot.
Can I put my own orthotics in it?
Yes. The AG7™ footbed lifts out. The CA4025 is EH rated rather than static-dissipative, so swapping the footbed doesn't put an SD rating at risk.
