Think flight boots. The boots have rubber soles and lower half of the upper is covered in a thick layer of rubber. From the top of the foot up, the uppers are constructed out of leather. They secure at the top with two zippers, one zipping upward and the other downward, over a wide tongue. The upward zipper pull has a leather tie, and the downward zipper pull has a wide leather strap that secures to the put with a metal snap. The interior is lined with thick lamb's wool fleece.
