Mountain walking or hiking boots are designed for mountain and hill walking, backpacking and mountaineering. Crampons can be attached to them for a better grip on glaciers or hard-packed snow. They are extremely strong, and durable, and have stiff soles to give the ankles support and protection on difficult rocky trails.

The short overshoes may also be made waterproof for wet conditions, [11] or furry with more grip for dry terrain. [5] The inner boots are often made with the fur facing inwards. They are worn without socks, because socks absorb and hold sweat. [4] Mukluks may be adorned with pom-poms, beads, embroidery, and other techniques.
Japanese tabi are usually understood today to be a kind of split-toed sock that is not meant to be worn alone outdoors, much like regular socks. However, tabi were originally a kind of leather shoe made from a single animal hide, as evidenced by historical usage and the earlier form of the word, tanbi, spelled 単皮, with the kanji literally signifying "single hide".
