Fun Fact: Snow boots aren’t meant for snowy conditions—accurately, they’re not waterproof and can be damaged by rain.

Snow boots are only suitable for dry ground and offer good warmth, but they aren't suited for outdoor wear in rain or snow. (If you insist on wearing them, they'll likely absorb water and soak through, or the soles may detach.)

This really refreshed my perspective. I bought a few pairs, let them sit for years, and never wore them… I guess it's just not cold enough to need them yet.
