Typically, there are 3 differences between a boot for hikes vs. one for snow:
- Snow boots are often taller, coming up higher on the calf or even to the knee
- Snow boots have different treads to handle ice and snow rather than dirt, gravel, skree, etc.
- Snow boots will have more insulation and, often, heat-reflecting insoles
Snow boots are also often waterproof, or at least water resistant.
Stay tuned… in addition to our collection of hiking, walking and casual boots, Xero Shoes has a snow boot coming out in the 2nd half of 2020!
