Thick socks and work boots. Or if you want a label get some CATs.

Sorels. I use them working in the snow a lot and always have dry warm feet.

Seeland Snow King 10" Mens Pac Boot Link

anyone tried these before?

I second Lowa's. They really are superb boots that are worth the extra expense. Take care of them and they will last you for years. IIRC they will do fittings if you can get along to their factory.

BTW - Men in Ugg boots.....ugh. It's things like that can push a man over the edge of a murder death kill spree.

in terms of decent cold wear foot wear.. i also tend to go with shoes... without shoes i find my feet very cold, but with shoes on... magic

Sorel's are the classic snowboot. Don't know how easy they are to source in the uk though and they might well be considered ott - personally I would stick to trainers in the uk!

Baffin Boots were recommended to me by some Canadian friends, though when i asked for a decent coat their other recommendation of a Snow Mantra Parka by Canada Goose was a touch on the heavy handed side.....

I have one of their expedition parkers, its awesome

Boots, I'd go with scarpa but can be expensive.

It got down to -20 when I was out with the dog last winter, the jacket I had from a family member who was working in moscow last winter. It means that all I need is the jacket and some boots and I am comfortable for a few hours out with the dog.

I have a pair of long Doc Martens that I've used in the snow before. My feet were the warmest part of my body! xD
