Cold weather boot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cold weather boots are specialized waterproof combat boots made of rubber, designed to protect the wearer's feet from cold injury and frost bite. They feature thick thermal insulation and can be either white or black in color, the white boots intended for better camouflage in snow and ice. They are colloquially known as "Mickey Mouse boots".^{[citation needed]} They are also popular with hunters in cold weather.

In the United States Army Type I Extreme Cold Weather Boots are designed to be worn in wet or dry conditions down to -20°F (-29°C). Type II Extreme Cold Weather Boots are suitable for dry conditions down to -60°F (-51°C).
