We already have so much snow here.<br />I have tried loads over the years.&nbsp;<br />In rotation at the moment:<br />1. Kamiks<br />I have the ones&nbsp;that Suz has linked to. I also bought them on Una's recommendation and they are wonderful. They replaced an expensive boot from Mountain equipment coop that were so heavy that it was difficult to drive in.&nbsp;They are so lightweight - that is a huge plus. I have them in the charcoal. I had to size up a full size in these boots.<br />2. Pajar short boots<br />I have a&nbsp;pair of combat style Pajar boots. They are leather with sheepwool inside - not faux lining. These boots are about 8&nbsp;years old and are in fabulous condition. I admit to do nothing to help them along.<br />3. Pajar tall boots<br />These are tall with a wedge heel and also about 8 years old. They are leather&nbsp;with sheepwool lining.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410913 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 17:19:50 +0000 Angie 1410913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many, many thanks, ladies.

This is the third winter for them. They are very warm and super comfortable. I tramped all over Buffalo in them last February &nbsp;lots of slush and snow and they did not leak. I live in PA and we have already had some snow. I find that I reach for them even when it isn't snowing or wet as they are my most comfortable and warm&nbsp;boots.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://vip.zappos.com/rieker-74372-sybille-72-black-leather">http://vip.zappos.com/rieker-7.....ck-leather</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />They are reasonably stylish, I have worn them with a wool skirt and a sweater but usually wear them with skinny's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410847 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:10:37 +0000 Sveta 1410847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear leather&nbsp;&nbsp;UGG shearling lined boots when it is really cold and showy and when&nbsp;<i></i>I am outside in the snow a lot (like walking in the park). It does not look like they are available anywhere but this is a link to a blog featuring them:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://herblog.com/2010/11/ugg-australia-broome-ii-leather-boots/">http://herblog.com/2010/11/ugg.....her-boots/</a><br />In addition to shearling lining the also have foil thermal soles ander the shearling which makes wonder in keeping the feet warm - and my feet are very easy to get numb from the cold!<br />Otherwise it is my Blondo boots all the way! My flat boots are 2 years old and were tested in slushy weather - the worst for the footwear when you have a mix of snow and water you need to get through. They passed with flying colors and I am a firm Blondo fan now!<br />I also got dressy Blondo boots this year and hope they will be as good in winter as the flat ones but I did not have a chance to test them in the snow yet (which I am not complaining about AT ALL!)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410840 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 14:55:40 +0000 Elizabeth P 1410840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to add another couple of suggestions, over and above the famous Sorel's (which of course I also have). </p> <p>Last year I got a pair of Cushe's,&nbsp; They are rated to -30C, and are extremely comfortable, and waterproof.&nbsp; A picture of mine is below (#1), however I don't see this style available anymore.&nbsp; But I'm sure it's a brand worth recommending.&nbsp; </p> <p>And for dressier winter boots, I recommend Valdini.&nbsp; They are dress boots, but warm and waterproof.&nbsp; So really useful for when&nbsp; you need to look good, not so much for shoveling the driveway ;)&nbsp; I got these ones this year:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.tonyshoes.com/product_info.php?products_id=5801&amp;osCsid=49afd4785a55decc2203e0466aee993c" rel="nofollow">http://www.tonyshoes.com/produ.....466aee993c</a> </p> <p>I've also had good luck with Cougar's... Currently have the style "Storm".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410751 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 02:36:53 +0000 sarah 1410751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Kamik's. I bought a pair last year based on Una's and Suz's recommendation. I bought the Viennas, but it looks like they've been replaced with the Vienna 2's.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/kamik-vienna-2-grey?ef_id=VBxLMwAABD68SGUS:20141214023429:s">http://www.zappos.com/kamik-vi.....14023429:s</a></p> <p>I like them because they are warm, lightweight, and not terribly expensive. Note that I am a big "shoe/boot" swapper, because I often ride my bike to work, even in the snow and cold. My feet are always warm, even riding my bike in 0F weather.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410729 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 01:23:45 +0000 Joyce B 1410729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I cannot link from my phone but what I have are the Timberland Women's Waterproof Nellie Chukka Double Boots in black in my size and another model which is the same look but with five shoelace wholes instead of four and two back of the leg cushions instead of one in the Nellies.<br /> I have the five shoelace wholed ones in brown, half a size up and in wide width. If the weather allows but I want traction and I want to look a bit nicer I wear the Nellies with thin socks. If it's snowing but not a blizard I wear the brown ones with my hand-knit socks or with my ski socks. If it's a blizard I wear my Sorels which are rough work boots with a wool liner and change into more comfortable shoes at work.<br /> The Nellies come in pretty colors too, I added picts of them. They have some for 99 bucks in Macys, but not all the colors.<br /> The last ones are my Sorels, they last forever but they give me a backache if I wear them for too long.<br /> I see that the Kamik get Una's approval, I really need to check them out now although they don't seem to be for wide feet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410695 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 23:55:57 +0000 catgirl 1410695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Sorels, Uggs. Merrells and Kamiks. For truly functional snow boots, the Kamiks win on price, weight, waterproofness and warmth.

At least for my cold and snowy climate. </p> <p>They don't sell the pair I have anymore, but I have had them for several years and they are still going strong.

I'm glad I bought my bean boots right after my move back in September then; at the time there wasn't a waiting list at all.</p> <p>I don't have the years of living in a cold climate experience, but I just wanted to let you know that I tried on the Sorel Cate the Great, and while I actually loved the look (so rustic!), they were far too heavy to be arthritis-friendly (my hips were in noticeable pain&nbsp;within ten minutes of test-walking in&nbsp;them). So if you have any clients with rheumatoid arthritis or hip joint issues, you might want to pay attention to weight &amp; opt for the lighter brands.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410659 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 22:58:50 +0000 jackiec 1410659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had the same pair of black mid-height Sorels for years. They are warm and great in the snow. I don't wear them much around here but wear them up at Whistler in the winter. Can't find a link they are that old.... I like that I can fit bootcut jeans over the top. Strangely enough I wear my looser bootcuts a lot in the snow b/c I can fit my longjohns underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410654 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 22:55:20 +0000 Style Fan 1410654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Sorels.&nbsp; They are very warm and I don't slip on the ice.&nbsp; Mine are not fashionable.&nbsp; They are black snowmobile type.&nbsp; I can't link.&nbsp; Sorry.&nbsp; My friend who was a nurse in the Artic (Baffin Island) has the same ones in white.&nbsp; They last forever.&nbsp; Serious boots.</p> <p>I have been looking for something to wear for everyday that is warm but doesn't look so scary.&nbsp; Mark's Work Warehouse has some.</p> <p>I tried on the Pajar in Montreal.&nbsp; No support for my poor feet.&nbsp; Nice styles.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410555 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 20:59:05 +0000 Anonymous 1410555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My bestever snow boots have been a pair of Morlands waterproof real sheepskin boots made in England that I thrifted years ago. They are warm with the fleece inside and hit mid calf on me, tall enough to get through those piles of snow pushed up by the plows. They have a thick grippy sole too. My pad is not copying the link but I will try to add it later from the computer.<br /> When I Googled the Morlands name I see that they are still made in Glastonbury.<br /> Morlandssheepskin.co.uk/ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410465 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 18:07:09 +0000 MsMaven 1410465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this thread topic. My old Stuart Weitzman boots--10 years old--died. I've been putting off replacing them. I only spend a few days each winter in Chicago and occasionally in Salt Lake, so I don't want to spend a lot of money on boots. Those Sorels look good.</p> <p>As I get older I have a definite fear of falling--I'm no longer used to walking in snow or on slippery driveways, so my dressier boots just won't do it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have a fear of frozen toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410463 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 17:59:10 +0000 Anonymous 1410463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did paste pictures in my first reply. &nbsp;Here are some Pinterest pics that illustrate how we roll out here in the Prairies:) &nbsp;That's me in the first pic with the long hair and cool fur trim jacket .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410456 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 17:48:14 +0000 Anonymous 1410456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sorelfootwear.ca/en/NL1937.html?cgid=women&amp;dwvar_NL1937_variationColor=373#start=17">http://www.sorelfootwear.ca/en.....3#start=17</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sorelfootwear.ca/en/1553961.html?cgid=women&amp;dwvar_1553961_variationColor=920#pg=2&amp;start=22">http://www.sorelfootwear.ca/en.....38;start=2</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sorel.com/womens-tivoli-ii-suede-boot-1567031.html?dwvar_1567031_variationColor=373#pg=2&amp;start=0"><a href="http://www.sorel.com/womens-tivoli-ii-suede-boot-1567031.html?dwvar_1567031_variationColor=373#pg=2&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.sorel.com/womens-ti.....2&#038;amp</a>;</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410435 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 17:05:43 +0000 Angie 1410435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>WOW.&nbsp;</b></p> <div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Thank you ALL so much</b>.

We hardly get snow here, or cold temps, but I can get away with rubber boots and wool socks when it does because everything is ploughed in the city. I also have a pair of waterproof hiking boots that work if the snow isn't too deep - I thnk they're North Face. They've lasted me for more than ten years now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-snow-boot-reccomendations-please/page/2#post-1410378 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 15:42:00 +0000 Suz 1410378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Laurinda, no kidding those are not for snow use.
