    Eddie Bauer winter Pac boots. Got a pair last year form Ebay for about 30 bucks and they are comparable with Sorel's that cost a lot more. For how often you're going to wear them, used is okay.
    I had my eye on a pair of Born boots with fleece lining, but dont' think they are made anymore. I agree with the above poster the Timberland Earthkeeper boot look really nice. Anything from Keen for me as well. I'd like some NoPos, or the Glarus. From Lowa a pair of Trekkers or Borneos would do me nicely.

    or
    If you live in an area that gets a lot of snowfall, stay away from those crepe soles.


    These are what I'll be wearing most of the winter:



    I'm gonna probably grab another pair in Goretex, too.

    Rubber Totes overshoes to go over my work shoes and North Face Gore-Tex jobbers for when things get nasty.

    I usually always just wear shoes but as of lately thats near impossible here.

    Newest:

    Been posted, the original Clarks Desert boot in beeswax. Don't keep your feet warm but are good for house to car to school or house-car-store kinda thing.

    Comfortablest:

    Airmax 90 Boot. Found on sale a few years ago, barely wear them but when I do they make me happy. Nice and warm but a little too out there for me nowadays.

    Hikingest/Durable:

    Random Windrivers. I have this exact pair. They are a solid 5 years+ old now, no dried leather, cracking, broken rivets/eyelettes. Verrrry warm, like makes your feet sweat almost. Not too water resistant. I've just replaced the laces several times and spray them with some Foot locker ****.

    Shovelingest:

    Old Sorel Woodbines. Heel is not as grippy as one would imagine but extremely insulated and waterproof considering the weight/build!
