Description:

These large, bulbous, waterproof rubber boots can be worn in extremely cold weather, −20 to −65 °F, with the liner-free interior retaining warmth by sandwiching up to one inch of wool and felt insulation between two vacuum-tight layers of rubber; this vacuum layer insulates the wearer's feet like a vacuum flask.

Type I

The black pairs, called Mickey Mouse boots, weigh 44 oz. apiece, are rated for temperatures down to −20 °F and are made with oil/diesel resistant rubber.

Type II

The white "Bunny boot" is an improved version of the Type I "Mickey Mouse boot", designed for use in even more extreme cold weather, and is rated all the way down to −65 °F. The boot is slightly bigger and heavier than the black Type I weighing 52 oz. each because of the extra insulation. These boots are manufactured by several companies including Bata, Acton and Air Boss.

Both Mickey Mouse boots and bunny boots have an air valve on each of the boots. These air valves must be opened prior to flying to ensure that the air pressure differential between the walls of the boot and the outside air does not cause the boots to rupture.

Both Mickey Mouse boots and bunny boots have rubber wedges on the front of the toe and the back of the heel. These wedges lock into military-standard ski and snowshoe bindings.
