What To Look For In Cold-Wet Weather Military Boot
The best type of cold-wet weather military boot will be long-lasting, comfortable, waterproof, and importantly, keep your feet warm even in the harshest of conditions. But how do you know what to look for in a cold-weather military boot? Some of the top features you should look for include:
- Warmth - This one seems obvious, but a good cold-wet weather military boot has to keep your feet warm. A boot with Primaloft® lining, the synthetic microfibre thermal insulation developed for the US Army would be suitable. The last thing you want to be dealing with is cold toes & feet when navigating deep snow.
- Durability - Winter conditions can be variable; from muddy fields to hard-packed icy surfaces. Your winter footwear should be durable. With proper care and maintenance, quality winter boots should last you for many years to come.
- Comfort - This goes without saying for any style of footwear. Who wants blisters? Comfort should be a key factor in choosing your cold-weather military boot.
- Good Support - Just like durability, support is an important element of winter footwear, you want a boot that provides good support as you cross varied terrain.
- Waterproofing - Wintery conditions are often very wet. Waterproofing will help keep your feet dry throughout those harsh winter days.
