The cold weather boot is 100% waterproof, making it great for deep snow and slush throughout the winter season. This is due to the 7mm Neo-Tech [waterproof insulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heat-boots), which is enhanced by a cozy wool material that keeps the wearer's feet warm. The BOGS Max-Wick lining also works to keep feet dry. To fight odors, BOGS also uses DuraFresh bio-technology, which activates when it comes into contact with it. The Arcata Knit boots are comfort rated for conditions as cold as -40ºF/-40ºC, and the GlacialGrip outsole prevents wearers from [slipping on ice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorel-caribou) in even the worst of wintry conditions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Waterproof Footwear Designs:** The trend towards highly water resistant footwear designs is disrupting the winter footwear industry by offering more practical and versatile options. - **Odor-resistant Technologies:** The use of biotechnology to create odor-resistant materials in footwear is a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies offering products in the winter sports or outdoor activities industries. - **Insulated Footwear:** The trend towards using highly insulated materials in footwear is a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies offering footwear products in the winter sports or outdoor activities industries. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Winter Footwear:** The winter footwear industry has an opportunity for disruptive innovation by focusing on creating highly water resistant, insulated and odor-resistant products for cold weather conditions. - **Outdoor Activities:** Companies in the outdoor activities industry have an opportunity for disruptive innovation by creating footwear products that are highly water resistant, insulated and odor-resistant for cold weather conditions. - **Winter Sports:** The winter sports industry has an opportunity for disruptive innovation by creating highly water resistant, insulated and odor-resistant footwear products that cater to the needs of winter sports enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Cozy Slip-On Booties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-research.md) - [Canadian-Inspired Winter Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadianinspired-winter-boot.md) - [Cold Weather Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-norvan-nivalis-shoe.md) - [Canadian-Made Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mara-suede-womens-heritage-pullon-boot.md) - [Incredibly Rugged Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugged-winter-boot.md) - [Rugged Waterproof Rubber Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-rubber-boot.md) - [Stylish Wedge Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedge-collections.md) - [Multi-Season Kid’s Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-boot.md) - [Insulated Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heat-boots.md)
