boot covers?

[mikehaugen]

The propane guy was here delivering yesterday and I noticed he was wearing some boot covers. I asked him about them and he said they were incredibly warm. I also noticed they were "made in USA" so I thought I would look into them. The problem is, I don't remember the name. I should have asked where he got them, but I forgot. The name was "[something] outfitters" but I can't remember the rest. They basically were black nylon/canvas type material with a couple buckles and they wrapped around your boot. These were different than others that I have seen that go around the uppers and keep snow out, they actually wrapped around the whole boot and I think they had some sort of cleats on the bottom. Any ideas?

these look very similar, though they say they are imported. If possible I would like to find the other ones. Although now I have a new search term... "overshoes"

I had seen the gaiters, however all the ones I saw only cover the uppers and seem to be designed to keep snow out of the top of the boot.

those were the ones I was referring to in this post, I forgot to put the link. If I can't find the other ones, I will probably give these a try.

Call the Propane company, ask them to have the driver call you, then ask him.

I will probably just ask him next time I see him, if I haven't figured it out by then. Problem is he is not the usual guy and only comes on rare occasions. Besides it is bothering more that I can't find them, than not knowing what they are. Things like this are usually pretty easy, which is probably why I didn't pay more attention. It has turned into a mission now. :laughing:

Search for Five Buckle Arctic overshoes. This was our generic term for that type of footwear - muck like folks often call tissue Kleenex.
