Is a clever hybrid. Yes, Muck, Bog and other boot companies make insulated boots the run upta ya knee, but I’d rather not wear that all day.
This “convertible” setup (double entendres allowed) for me is the best of both worlds.
I didn’t need or want to shovel behind the grome, but I wanted to access the ladder to access the solar panel so I could clear it for the waterfall inside.

Top down, easy-peasy, no snow in mah boots!
