Hip Boot
Hip
boots, or waders as they are colloquially
called, are a type of
boot initially designed to be worn by river
fishermen. Hip boots are typically made out of
rubber, and completely cover the legs, up to the
tops of the thighs or all the way up to the waist. Hipboots
are designed to protect the fisherman from water, and
allow wading out into deeper waters in hopes of getting
a bigger catch. They also help to keep the feet and
legs warm in autumn and winter. Hip boots are also worn
by many environmentalists and environmental scientists
who do tests in swamps or lakes to determine the quality
of water.
Hip-boots are
also necessary footwear during flooding, and can also
be a part of everyday city raingear in order to protect
from heavy showers (currently most popular in
Japan and
Russia as female footwear, usually worn with
jeans and
raincoat)
