winter boot
Insulated snow shoe
A winter boot is footwear designed for cold weather, typically insulated and waterproof to protect against snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.
Winter boots usually have thick soles with aggressive tread for traction on slippery surfaces: I need to buy new winter boots before the first snowfall.
The term distinguishes cold-weather footwear from rain boots or everyday boots.
