Norwegian term or phrase: snørestøvel
This one's driving me nuts. Are they "snow boots" or "lace boots" or something else?

Snørestøvel med kompositt tåhette, overdel av fullnarvet lær, tekstil fôr, TPU/PU såle, L-protection spikerbeskyttelse, Gel i innleggssåle.
"Snow/lace boots" with composite toe cap, upper part made of full grain leather, textile lining, TPU/PU sole, L-protection nail protection, Gel insole.

lace boot


Explanation:
En støvel som har lisser man kan snøre, dvs. at man kan snøre lissene slik at støvelen sitter godt fast. Snow boot er ikke riktig oversettelse. En snow boot (snøstøvel/vinterstøvel) kan være en snørestøvel, men trenger ikke være det.
