Sorels have well-insulated toes. There is no better maker of snow boots.

The really colorful dunlop boots, they look kind of gay but are super warm and comfy and durable I work outside all winter in Northern Alberta and they're prime.

Military surplus "Bunny Boots" just make sure to get the white ones, not the black ones. I wear mine at 40 to 50 below zero and stay nice and warm. Most Alaskans own a few pairs, they are durable, tough, and super warm. Most surplus stores sell them fairly cheap.

I worked all last winter in a pair of Raichle winter work boots and never got cold feet. If you can find 'em they're worth whatever price is being asked.

Yeah, they go great with fishnet stockings too.  I've seen plenty of guys on the snowmaking crew wearing these.

i always wear my snowboard boots. they work great. but if you dont have any already its kinda pointless to buy some unless you are going to use them to snowboard.
