Ventilated Wellington Boots

Abstract

The boot is constructed of a durable and water-impervious rubber or flexible plastic material and preferably has a thick, hard sole and a reinforced, optionally elevated, heel. The boot extends up to cover the mid or upper calf of the user. The calf region, optionally only the calf region, and optionally other regions or all regions of the boot, is punctured by a plurality of ventilation holes, thus permitting the user's lower legs and feet to vent heat.
