A work boot is a type of
footwear which covers at least the foot and usually the ankle, and sometimes
extends all the way to the knee. They come in every imaginable variation of
height, color, material and style. Most have a heel which is clearly
distinguishable from the rest of the sole, even if the two are made of one
piece. Originally boots were designed to be durable work shoes. 'Work boots are
sturdy in nature, meant for protection in wilderness or industrial settings.
Specialty boots have been made to temporarily protect steelworkers if they get
caught in pools of molten metal; to protect chemical workers from a wide variety
of chemical exposure; and there are insulated boots designed for walking in the
Antarctic continent. However most work boots are "laceups" made from leather and
shod with hobnails and heel-and toe-plates. ShipMyBoots.com offers a wide
