Snow boots

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.
In my Baffins, I could well go sockless actually - that said, I luv my JB Fields Merino Artic socks for the work boot!!

I wear wool socks year round. With cotton, my feet are soaked within 5 minutes.

This is the best for the money I have found . I buy them one size bigger so I can add my good socks . There plenty warm and easy walking and moving around . My last pair lasted me 9 years . Make sure you oil up the leather about 6 times and they will last . They do have some bulk to them but you get use to it very Quickly.

I played this game for a few years. Trying to find a combination of boots, coveralls, gloves and hats to keep my warm while cleaning snow in my open cab tractor. I finally spent the $$$ to get an aftermarket cab.
On a sunny day there is no need for hat, gloves or big heavy boots. Wish I had done it sooner. Now even the wife will go out and move the snow as she likes playing with the tractor but she hates freezing.

Our winters are hit or miss here. But when its really nasty and I have to go out in it, I have a pair of Sorells with the felt inserts. Also wear a heavy Carhartt pair of overalls and a sweat shirt with a polar Carhartt jacket... Never been cold with that combo. I also have a electric heated Harley Davidson jacket ( I use on my HD ) ..I imagine that would be fine to use as a under coat with something over it. It actually gets too warm on the bike at 45*..Sub 10* may be a different story.

well i bought some baffin eiger boots. they showed up yesterday, and they were waaaay too (%#&)*^% small! i had read all the advice about ordering them a size larger, so i did. i normally wear a 10, so i bought 11s. i need frickin 13s! i reordered, and returned the too small ones (waiting for UPS). i'll give a review later this season if anyone's interested.

I did not experience that with the constructor style - sizing was bang on - certainly aggravating, had just the opposite with socks from GCS (but easily fixed)

I have these
But mine are like 50 years old got 'em when I was maybe 16. Still perfect today
I used to wear Sorel brand boots - they no longer cut it for my feet - even in minus 20 weather, if I am not wearing my Baffin pac boot, my feet absolutely freeze - Baffin pac boot is the onlt boot that has ever provided this level of comfort - and they are safety boots to boot (no pun meant there). Until we get to the minus 15 area, I can get away with a good pair of insulated work boots, but not for very long!!! Lengthy days out in the elements are made easy to endure (foot wise)

I wear Muck Artic Pro boots when it’s really cold out clearing snow on open station tractor. They are very bulky but comfortable to walk in. I’ve worn them on 8+ hour days doing new construction on a concrete floor with wind blowing in single digit temps and never got cold feet.

Normally it's just the winter rubber boots with the felt liner and thicker wool socks over the long johns that keep the socks from falling down, but on the real cold days, or when snowmobiling/ice fishing, I opt for the Lacrosse Hunt Pac Extreme with 2000 grams of insulation. They are on the bulkier side, but comfortable and warm.

The warmest boots I have ever warn is a pair of military Mukluks.
Rubber traction soles, canvas uppers, heavy felt liner and a mesh like inner sole.
Some versions had a zipper entry while others are top entry.
Downside is poor ankle support but acceptable trade off to enjoy warm feet.

For what it’s worth I work outside all day every day plus my farm chores in the morning and night I spend about 14 hours outside every day. Lots of layers make a huge difference Columbia socks then wool socks then muck wetland boots. Regular thermals, my carharhartt 2112 arcflash pants then cathartic unlined bibs till about 0 then carhartt arctic bibs regular tshirt carahartt 2112. Arcflash shirt then a hoodie and carhartt vest and a camo ball cap been doing it for years 2 pairs brown jersey gloves

These boots are very warm. I was leary about them and the cost (about $300). I wear them snowmobiling at -25°c, standing while running firewood processor and my feet which are prone to get cold, stay warm. No liners to fuss with. For the -30 and colder days I use bama booties/socks overtop my will socks and still stay warm.
These were recommended by oil field guys in northern Canada.

While you question was specifically about boots I find my core gets awfuly cold when I am out plowing. I have about a 2 hour "route" when there is deep snow. I have an electically heated vest. It runs off the same kind of power bank you would use to charge your cell phone if you were traveling. Those are cheap so you can get multiples of them if you are going to be out longer. It makes all the difference in the world.

They make socks, gloves, pants and even hats that are battery powered.

If it is really cold out I will use the checmical toe warmers like these https://www.acehardware.com/departm...NhHbuMs5kN2Wq-X7lqUaAupZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

They make a huge difference. You can get them in bulk on Amazon such that they are under a dollar a pair. If I was going to be out regularly doing that kind of plowing I would get battery powered gloves and socks as well as the vest I have already.
