Snow boots

“Heat goes where the blood flows”. Our bodies are evolved to keep our core body temperature preserved. Blood flowing out from the heart carries heat with it. The arteries and veins in our arms and legs run together. The arterial blood warms the venous blood coming into our “core”. This also cools the arterial blood. This is why it is so hard to warm your extremities if they do get cold. We will also reduce the blood flow to our extremities to protect our core body heat. The extremity with the highest blood flow- and one that we do not reduce the flow to- is to our head. Starting off with warm head gear will help keep your feet from getting cold later on.

Something not yet mentioned are neoprene chest waders designed for waterfowl hunting. I have a pair with felt liners and thick neoprene. They are very warm, and totally block any wind.

If a person's circulation at their extremities is not good because of a medical reason, it becomes very hard to keep them warm.

I'm in NW Montana with an open station LS. I understand what you're saying. I have a pair of older Sorel's that I wear in the winter...until it gets real cold. Then I put on the Baffin's. The only negative is that they are bigger, so clunkier working the pedals, which is why I wear the Sorel's until it gets quite cold. But with the Baffin's my toes have never been cold, even after all day of fishing on the ice. They are still the go-to boot for the oil field workers in Alaska which says a lot. I highly recommend them.
My particular models are the Barrows. I know most of their newer models are made in China, supposedly to the same specs. I think the only ones still made in Canada are in their industrial line. They can be identified by the "Made in Canada" stamp on the bottom of the sole. Their website has pics. Zoom in on the sole and it's easy to read.
They no longer give a temp rating so it's harder to tell which ones are warmer. Since you have Reynauds, I would not recommend the Selkirks. You should probably look at ones that are "Polar Rated". The Selkirks are "Arctic Rated" which sounds good, but aren't as warm. I'm sure you'll be happier with the "Polar Rated" line. You can filter for them on the Baffin website. No affiliation, just pleased with mine. Hope that's helpful.

These are my favourite boots. Light weight, waterproof, warm, flexible, extremely comfortable and steel toe. Excellent traction. Durable too.

Whatever boots you decide on make sure you put these on under the boots. I wear these socks under my Danners and it was like night and day when I switched to them. My feet stay warm and dry while snow blowing on my open station.

You buy $260 boots you might just as well buy $18 socks to go in 'em I suppose. Boots and couple pair make for a nice round $300.

Can't afford this horse. It costs too much to shoe.

Find some military Bunny Boots. Bunny boots or Mickey Mouse boots (depending on the version) are the most common nicknames for the Extreme Cold Vapor Barrier Boots (Types I and II). They have a trapped air barrier inside them. I used to work outside for many hours at -20, -30 and they are the ONLY boot that ever kept my feet warm. I'm not talking about keeping them warm longer, I'm talking indefinitely. Check EBay or other search results on line.

That's that I have now. I've been reading reviews and from all I can tell, they don't make 'em like they used to.
I'm looking at Baffin Selkirks. Anyone have experience with them?

I have the Baffin Constructor - they are simply amazing - there is no other boot (and I have tried Sorel and others) that can even come close!! I have issue with my feet even at -20C so these are the cat's meow for me

Over the years I found snowmobile outfit works the best ...boots 1 piece suit and gloves...some time suit can be to warm.

The one piece for me has worked out to NOT be the best fit - bibbed coverall (insulated) that way I can utilize whichever jacket is best suited for the task at hand - boots, ONLY Baffin for these feet
