*a boot is a type of [foot-wear] and a specific type of ‘shoe’*
.
(most boots mainly cover the foot and the ankle, while some also cover some part of the ‘lower calf’)
.
Some boots extend up the leg, sometimes as far as the knee or even the hip.
Most boots have a heel that is clearly distinguishable from the rest of the sole, even if the two are made of one piece.
Traditionally made of leather or rubber, modern boots are made from a variety of materials.
Boots are worn both for their functionality โ protecting the foot and leg from water, extreme cold, mud or hazards (e.g., work boots may protect wearers from chemicals or use a steel toe) or providing additional ankle support for strenuous activities with added traction requirements (e.g., hiking) โ and for reasons of style and fashion.
In some cases, the wearing of boots may be required by laws or regulations, such as the regulations in some jurisdictions requiring workers on construction sites to wear steel-toed safety boots.
Some uniforms include boots as the regulated footwear.
(‘boots’ are recommended as well for ‘motorcycle riders’)
(‘high-top athletic shoes’ are generally not considered boots, even though they do cover the ankle, primarily due to the absence of a distinct ‘heel’)
(in ‘britain’, the term may be used to refer to football (soccer) cleats)
