Omni-Heat Technology Keeps Feet Warm in Cold Weather
Omni Heat

The Bugaboot features both Omni-Heat insulation and Omni-Heat reflection technology to keep your feet toasty warm even in damp and chilly conditions. Whether you're commuting to work in the snow, heading to the slopes for a day out, or working outdoors in ice and hail, this boot keeps you going.

Its Omni-Heat reflection acts like a space blanket, helping you to regulate your temperature by reflecting the natural warmth your body generates. This technology enhances the Omni-Heat insulation material, which sits between the lining and the leather of the boot to help retain your heat. The space between the reflective dots also allows moisture vapor to escape, letting your feet breathe and keeping them comfortable as you walk or hike.

Waterproof Design with Multi-Terrain Traction
Omni Grip

To help keep feet dry as you tackle rain, sleet, and snow, the Bugaboot has a full-grain, waterproof leather upper and a high profile that prevents Mother Nature's worst from splashing over the edge of the boot. The boot's Omni-Grip outsole incorporates a full length, dual-compound lug pattern that provides sure traction in all cold weather conditions. Meanwhile a rubber-wrapped toe and heel provide extra protection from impact.

Techlite Shell for Lightweight Comfort
Omni Heat

The Bugaboot has a full-length, compression-molded Techlite shell for extra warmth without extra bulk. This shell is super lightweight while still providing plenty of cushioning and comfort to keep you going mile after mile. For durability and abrasion resistance, it's skinned with TPU-coated leather. The boot's laced vamp lets you get a perfect fit.

What's in the Box
