Not all hunting boots are durable in the snow or even in the rain. For hunting in the snow, you will need boots with some key features. The first one being, they need to be completely waterproof. The last thing you want is snow seeping into your shoes and giving you frostbite. A snowboot with a gaiter will add to the waterproof feature by keeping snow and water out. Also, if it is snowing, the terrain is going to be slippery. So, look for hunting boots with good traction and support.
