Waterproof materials deflect water, and cause the article to not become bogged or soaked with water. Waterproof material is common in outerwear, footwear, and bags.
About Work Boots:
Work boots are boots designed to stand heavy wear, protect the feet, and provide high traction. Work boots are generally made from sturdy leather uppers and non-leather outsoles with protective features such as steel toes or ankle guards. Work boots are commonly used for protection in industrial settings, construction, mining, and other workplaces.
LaCrosse Industrial 16" Meta-Pac Darn near bullett proof!

I work in a wet underground mine and wear these boots 8 to 10 hours a day. I walk an average of 3 to 5 miles a day and good boots are a must. These boots last longer than any other boot I've worn. They last 6 months and while that may not sound like much most other boots I've tried only last 2 to 3 months at best and I've tried many other brands. If you need a good long lasting pair of rubbersteel toe boots you can't bet these LaCrosse Meta-Pac.
