Lightweight winter overboots are worn over existing footwear to keep feet warm and dry in cold, wet conditions. They are lighter and more compact than general purpose overboots while providing similar protection from cold.

Winter overboots with traction are worn over existing footwear by workers who spend long periods of time outdoors in snowy and icy conditions. The traction aid on the bottom of the boot provides secure footing to help reduce slips and falls. Winter overboots are insulated to keep feet warm and dry in water, snow, and slush.
