Winter insulated boots are in demand because of the main elements that any worker needs in the winter.
- Insulation, classified as natural or synthetic.

The disadvantage of some waterproof boots is that while they are impervious to water, they prevent sweat from evaporating. And this can lead to freezing of the feet due to the lack of thermal insulation. Nowadays, many winter boots are made from a combination of moisture-resistant materials and built-in membranes that are waterproof, but have the property of wicking moisture away from the skin, which makes them comfortable to wear in any weather.
- Injury protection. Winter boots are equipped with a rather thick upper, which provides good protection for the feet. Many models of winter boots are equipped with a soft, flexible sole that does not allow the foot to slip in heavy ice.

How to choose?

- They must be created using natural materials. Genuine leather boots are a very good type of work footwear. Insulation can be natural or artificial fur.
- The sole must be wear-resistant and anti-slip. It can be rubber or any other similar material. For products intended for use in winter conditions, a TPU / PU sole is well suited - it is frost-resistant and non-slip. In addition, it can serve for a fairly long time.
- Shoes should be equipped with an insulated insole that can trap heat inside.
- For the upper part, rubber, leather or rubberized materials should be used. It is recommended not to purchase products made from other materials.

This type of material is resistant to cold, various damage, and aggressive particles.
- Shoes should not be purchased on the market, but at a point of sale specializing in the sale of similar goods.
- Frost resistance of boots is determined by their ability to withstand low temperatures, keeping warm inside.
