Most boots mostly cover the foot and ankle, while some cover a portion of the lower calf. In addition to their practical benefits, boots are worn for reasons of fashion and flair. Functional considerations include providing protection for the foot and leg from water, mud, pests, extreme temperatures, sharp or blunt objects, physical abrasion, corrosive agents, or harmful radiation, as well as providing ankle support and traction for demanding activities like hiking and durability in challenging environments.

Boots and work shoes are typically made with leather for the upper portion of the shoe. The uppers of shoes can also be produced from synthetic materials and fabrics. Vinyl and urethane are the two main synthetic substitutes for leather. Utilizing man-made materials has advantages such as generally lower material costs, attractive appearance, and simple upkeep. The soles of shoes are made from a variety of materials based on the qualities that the manufacturer requires. These could include insulation, traction, or durability. For medical reasons, the sole could also need to be padded, slip-resistant, oil-resistant, or changed.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the supply chain of major manufacturers and forced them to move towards online channels and thus obstructed the boot market growth. The market slowed down as a result of the closure of production and manufacturing facilities brought on by the lockdown and logistical restrictions imposed by government authorities around the world. The government implemented these closures and lockdowns to stop the coronavirus from spreading. Currently, the government has lifted the ban and introduced various programs such as raw material subsidies and government promotion for the growth of small regional enterprises to aid the industry in recovering from the pandemic's damage.
