Freezing colds that run below zero degree Celsius can only be beaten by wearing wind cancelling clothes like thermals, woollen attires, PU coated clothings, etc.
But nothing will suffice if your feet are not protected from the cold and that can’t be accomplished by a boot that doesn’t have insulation.
But there’s a problem with insulated boots and that is you cannot wear them throughout the year and you might feel that it is not worth investing in a pair of shoes which you cannot wear all the year round and that makes sense literally!
And so I have talked with some of the shoemakers in the market and found out some ways in which you can make your non insulated boots insulated!
Isn’t that cool?
Inserting a fleece liner, inserting a warm wool insole and wearing woollen socks for hiking are some of the few ways you can insulate your non insulated boots.
Need to insulate your work boots
Work boots are one important source to keep the body warm in the chilli winters. If your feet are not warm, no matter how many layers of clothing you wear, your body won’t remain hot.
Insulation in boots helps to provide that warmth to the feet and also helps to prevent the outside cold from getting inside the boots.
There are many types of insulation used in boots nowadays but the best ones are the thinsulate insulation and the shearling insulation.
If your boots are not insulated, they will easily allow the outside cold to enter the boots and to your feet resulting in Frost bites and also when the feet are cold that will get transferred to your entire body.
Therefore, it’s very important to get the right foot attire for the winters.

Other ways to insulate work boots
1. Add a foil on top of the insole of the boots
Adding a foil will help to prevent the cold from entering the boots while you walk on the snow.
2. Wear multiple layers of socks
You need to combine different types of socks to serve the purpose. The first socks should be moisture wicking (made of cotton) and breathable, the next one should be thick woollen socks to trap the heat and provide warmth and the third pair of socks should be slip resistant and liner socks.
3. Take your boots to the shoemaker
The easiest way is to take your work boots to the shoemaker and ask him to add the fleece layers temporarily so that once the winter is gone, you can remove them and wear them comfortably in the summers too.
And that’s a wrap!
