What boots do you use in the snow?
For snowblowing, I have my 1990's Sorel Caribous.
For normal getting around when it's snowed, I have these boots that I got online from MN for $50 end of season http://www.ems.com/sorel-mens-cold-m...FYQfHwodE4MJ9w My buddy says the zippers are ***!  Sadly, I noticed a crack in my Caribous, and they say, "Made in Canada." If I replace them with Caribou II's, they will be $106 online and made in China. The price is good, it depends on size, some are $150. |

I have some regular steel toe with Thinsulate, but I only deal with Cali snow, so . . . I have spent several hours with mink oil/snowproof/hair dryer, so no wet gets into the boot. I melt and run the stuff into the seams, and now they wipe off clean.

This company rules and is based in Bozeman near where I used to live. They make the ultimate back country hunting boots. If you are hunting mountain goats, THESE are what you want!

Very light boot. Keeps feet warm and dry. Only drawback, it's a pita to put them on and off |

Baffin Boots - and check my location, I know a little about cold.
I bought the ones rated to negative 72...mostly b/c I didn't like the look of ones rated to negative 100. Honestly, the lightest boot I've had (much lighter than Sorel which I also tried) and so warm |

Clarks gortex boots. Simple looking, and keeps my feet warm and dry. Great boots. There actually on sale now on the Clarks website. I have the ones with the stitching that goes around the front/above your toes. There selling for $99.00, with a promo code for a additional 20% off. Great price. I would buy another pair if they had my size.

I am pretty sure if the price drops on the Caribou II's, I'll get a new pair....but they went up from the $98 price. For now, I got me a $3.xx rubber patch kit--buddy says it won't work, but we'll see!

Damn guys, just get a pair of work boots and call it a day. Unless you like your women thinking your a little bit fem on the inside. Then by all means, go with the shin high zip ups. haha |
