Bootee

Bootee

A bootee is a garment like a thick sock to keep the feet warm.

They are usually worn by people who do not walk (e.g. babies), as walking would soon wear holes in soft bootees.

Sometimes bootees are worn by sledge dogs in very cold Arctic conditions: see Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
