High Blucher style, rigid rubber sole, ski strap shelf. These boots have an air pressure system for high altitudes and insulation, and are designed to keep feet comfortable at 20 below zero. | "Mickey Mouse Boot" is the nickname for the U.S. Army Cold Vapor Barrier Boots. Still in use in the Extreme Cold Weather Clothing System, these boots were designed for use for temperatures up to from 20 below zero. These boots are genuine U.S. Issue. | Originally designed and adopted around the Korean War, these boots offer a unique solution to water evaporation from the feet, the leading cause of frostbite and cold injury in winter. A layer of thick wool and felt is sandwiched between two layers of waterproof rubber, and compressed to make a thin, flexible, and completely watertight insulated barrier, unaffected by outside moisture or sweat moisture from the feet. | The high blucher design features a seamless shell design, direct molded sole, and a gusset fused to the main body along its whole length. You would have to step in water that completely covered the top of the boot before any liquid could get in, and even if this happened, the body temperature in the feet would quickly warm the water and prevent frostbite. This boot is designed to be worn with one thick pair of padded-sole socks, to be changed at least once daily, and offers unprecedented cold weather protection. Each pair also features an air pressure release valve, to be opened during high-altitude flight or climbing to allow air pressure between the layers to escape.
- MATERIAL: Boots are made of rugged rubber for the waterproof feature. The part of the boot that keeps the foot warm consists of layers of wool and felt that are sealed between the rubber inner and outer layers of the boot so that no water can get into the insulation areas.
- DESIGN: Made to similar specs as the Mickey Mouse boots, these army rubber combat boots will keep you warm and dry even when the temperature is in the negatives. Side valve allows for inflation or deflation depending upon requirements
- SPECIALITY: These army rubber combat boots have been designed to protect your feet from cold injury and frost bite in areas where moisture and cold are critical factors, and where the mean monthly temperature ranges between 14 F and 68 F (-10 C and -20 C)
- DURABILITY: Made for the military. Sure to last through rigorous army use. Rated to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, these army combat boots have a pressure valve to release pressure from the rubber at high altitudes, like in a plane or on a mountain.
- USAGE: Great rubber boots for hunting, hiking, snowmobiling, ice fishing, or when even you want to keep your feet warm, dry, & avoid frostbite in the coldest, wet conditions of winter.
