Comfort That Lasts the Shift
The OVERTIME™ footbed is two layers doing different jobs: a dense polyurethane undercarriage molded for arch support, and a memory-foam top that contours to your anatomy. The undercarriage is what keeps it supporting you at hour ten.
Direct Attach Construction
Rather than stitching the sole through a welt, direct attach molds the outsole straight onto the upper. The result is a watertight bond right where water tends to find its way in — a natural fit for a waterproof boot — and a lighter boot underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a non-metallic shank?
A steel shank adds weight and stiffness underfoot. The composite shank in the CA8585 carries the arch just as well while keeping the boot lighter and letting it flex more naturally through the stride — which is exactly what you want on a boot built for ten-hour days.
What is the OVERTIME™ Comfort System?
Carolina's dual-density footbed: a thick polyurethane foam undercarriage molded for arch support, topped with memory foam that contours to your foot. The two-layer design is what keeps it from flattening out the way a single memory-foam insole does.
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.
What sizes and widths does the Silvanus come in?
Carolina builds it in D and 2E widths, sizes 8 through 14, including half sizes through 11½.
What safety toe does the Silvanus have?
A steel safety toe that meets ASTM F2413 I-75/C-75 for impact and compression protection.
Is the Silvanus EH rated?
Yes. It's electrical hazard rated, tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage.
