Overboot : What is it?
| Overboots are footwear worn over climbing shoes or boots to keep the feet warm, dry, and comfortable in various weather conditions. They may not be aesthetically appealing, but they provide better protection from cold and wetness. Overboots are designed for easy wearing because they are usually put on at the last minute. They have durable fasteners at the back for securing the whole length and diameter of the lower leg. They are usually made with non-slip soles helpful when hiking over wet or greasy grounds. |
