I had the same issue, but 2 winters ago found a paid of Windriver boots that have kept my feet and toes warm for the first time in my life. I have no idea what they're called and can't find them on the website anymore though :( they're similar style to the snow leopards but not the same

Now to find gloves that are actually warm..

Get some nice thick socks, it’ll add bulk so you’ll want a boot about half a size larger to accommodate. I’m 11.5 and always buy 12. I got these L.L. Bean socks and they help a lot.

Anyway thanks for this post OP! Picked up these boots today and like them a lot. A little hard to get on but for heavy snow I’ll be putting these on. Glad the size was wide, fits perfect!

Just a warning, but this fit really small. I have a pair and love them but had to buy 2 sizes larger than I normally do.

Warning that my experience of bugaboots are that it actually catches on your ankle hair and will basically wax you until you don't have enough to catch anymore. Now I don't have much hair growing on my ankles lol.

Super annoying at first . And painful.

You may want to try wearing socks.

First, these are not the warmest Columbia boots. Look for Columbia boots that include "Omniheat" - those should be warmer.

Second, you may want to upgrade your socks. Your normal cotton socks won't cut it. But don't wear two layers of socks, as that can restrict blood flow and lead to frost bite.

Third, consider heat packs to stick onto your toes. They cost about $1.50 per pair and last hours. But I wouldn't waste them on a 10 minute wait.

Yes, there are other warm boots. Look in the professional isle. Or get seal skin boots (expensive) or those white ones that have compressed air all around. Or electric ones, I guess.

Electrically heated boots, jackets, gloves have been available for purchase from numerous retailers for some time.

Anyone in need of more warmth should go that route.

Marks has their own line, Thermaelectric.
