It’s important to know that online boot dealers don’t always label Carolina Workflex safety boots as part of the Workflex line. You need to know this if you want to find what you are looking for.

There are actually three style variations of Carolina Workflex safety boots and this can be where the confusion lies. Online dealers will often call these boots by only their model names and because the Carolina boot company website makes no mention of these names, you can get frustrated trying to find the Workflex line. You may not know what you are looking at. However, if you are looking at the Flexor, Flexlite or Cascade models of Carolina boots, you are in the right place.

The Carolina Flexor comes in a low and a mid size model. The mid is a 6” shaft. The low looks like an oxford. As far as traction goes, their soles tend to do best in oil and chemical spills.

The Flexlite is my favorite of the three. It is a 6” shaft and also does well on oil and chemical spills. I like it because I prefer 6” boots and I like the eyehooks for getting into and out of the boot quickly. This is a lightweight boot and has a lot of cushion and memory foam. That’s key when you stand a lot during the day like I do. Overall I really like the look of it.

The last style is the Cascade and it comes in brown and black while the other two models only come in brown. The Cascade is the only one of the styles that is also waterproof. All the boots can be gotten with or without an ANSI Class 75 Steel Toe.

Carolina work boots have such a highly regarded reputation you can’t go wrong with them. I’ve found many reviews touting their comfort and long life. I’m getting a pair of the Flexlites as soon as my LaCrosse work boots wear out.

For recommended dealers who offer these boots go to Men's steel-toed work boots and read the dealer reviews.
