nylon to defend the elements.

snow. It is actually called a snow gator, and there are two types that can be found in snow boots:
** A "built-in gator" has insulation around the leg area of the boot, and keeps snow and precipitation from entering inside.
** A "pull-up gator" is slightly more reliable and has waterproof material surrounding the entire lower leg for ultimate protection.
* '''Sole: '''As for the bottom of the boots, to keep water out,
rubber is the best material that you can find.
