Benefits of technology

[0006] In accordance with the present invention, a boot accessory is provided that includes a wrap that is capable of covering at least a portion of an external surface of an upper leg of a boot and thereby enhances the warmth of the boot and protects the upper leg portion from damage.
[0010] Numerous advantages may be realized by the present invention. For example, the wrap is easily attachable and detachable from a boot. This allows a person to attach the wrap when additional warmth is desired or when protection is needed. Similarly, the person can detach the wrap when it becomes hot or when protection is no longer needed.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, exposure of the upper leg of a boot increases its risk of damage from abrasions and other consequences of use.
