Essential Characteristics For A Snow Military Boot
When you’re looking for a cold weather military boot, it’s essential that you take into account the following properties:
Warmth: As obvious as it might seem, when exercising in the snow, it’s essential that your military boots provide you with the necessary warmth. This is essential for keeping your feet protected and comfortable when walking through ice cold ground.
Grip: Snowy conditions make the ground more slippery, uneven and generally more challenging to walk on. That’s why high performance grip is a key property for any LOWA military boot that is used in the snow. Grip can be enhanced with the use of anti slip grips, ice or snow grips, crampons or overshoes.
Durability: Adverse weather conditions such as snow, can wear your boots down more quickly, which is why you need a boot that can stand up to the conditions. You want a boot that is easy to maintain, but will last you for many winters to come.
Support: As we’ve mentioned, snow can make the ground more uneven. Good support is an important feature of any military boot, however particularly in adverse conditions, where the chance of injury is increased, especially if you are not wearing the correct footwear.
Waterproofing: It’s essential that your feet are kept dry when walking through the snow, in order to prevent discomfort and to ensure your feet are kept warm.
