A low-profile boot with street-sneaker lines designed for durability and comfort. This 6” composite safety toe work boot features a tough leather upper, waterproof SCUBALINER™, and an AG8 Dual-Density footbed. This Electrical Hazard rated boot is also equipped with an oil- and slip-resisting rubber outsole for excellent traction on the job.

- Removable AG8™ Dual-Density Footbed — An update to the AG7, with enhanced arch support.
- Mello/Sphere EVA Cushioning Midsole — Sneaker-style shock absorption underfoot.
- Electrical Hazard Rated — Tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.
- Cement Construction — A bonded sole that keeps the boot light and flexible.
- Oil- & Slip-Resisting Rubber Outsole — Traction on wet and oily floors.
A Safety Boot That Walks Like a Sneaker
The weight of a work boot is what wears you down over ten hours, not the work. A composite toe, a cement-bonded sole, and an EVA midsole put this closer to an athletic shoe than a jobsite boot — with the ASTM toe rating intact.
Note the Electrical Rating
The CA2320 is EH rated — it insulates you from live circuits. Its stablemate the Workline oxford, CA2321, is SD rated, which is the opposite property: it conducts static charge to ground. The two are mutually exclusive. Make sure you're buying the one your site requires.
Why Choose the CA2320?
Waterproof, EH rated, composite-toe protection in the lightest 6" boot Carolina builds on this last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “100% non-metallic upper” mean?
There's no metal hardware in the upper — no steel eyelets or lace hooks. Combined with the composite toe, that removes the metal from everything above the sole. Carolina does not publish a shank material for this style, so if you need a fully metal-free boot for a detector-controlled access point, confirm before ordering rather than assuming.
Is the CA2320 EH or SD rated?
EH — electrical hazard. It insulates against contact with live circuits. It is not static-dissipative. If your work requires SD, the Workline oxford CA2321 carries that rating instead.
Why a composite toe over steel?
Both meet the same ASTM impact and compression thresholds. Composite weighs less — which is the whole point of this boot — and transfers far less cold into the toe box.
How does cement construction affect the boot?
The outsole is bonded directly to the upper rather than stitched through a welt. That's much of what keeps this boot light, and it lets the sole flex with your foot from the first day, with no break-in underfoot.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The SCUBALINER™ is a sealed membrane rather than a surface coating, so it doesn't wash off. Conditioning the leather and keeping the seams clean is what keeps it working over the life of the boot.
