The WM ones have foam inner soles. That’s easy to do.
They are pretty well my perfect design, and wouldn’t be that hard to replicate. Foam inners, cordura like sole, down filled to about ankle height I think, and then the whole bootie ones up to calf height, with a draw cord above your calf, which keeps them on. The shorter down booties always slip off, and are a PITA in deep snow. The best thing about the WM ones, compared to the ones we oldies used 20-30 yrs ago is the outer going above calf height, and the fabric being a bit lighter and more waterproof ( and the down).
I’m liking this new Paskal weathermax 80 fabric…..lighter than cordura, but with a textured finish, and would be great for booty bases. Am about to make some weatherproof ski pants from a combination of weathermax 80, and weathermax 3D , which is a less water resistant stretchy version.
