I like cofra boots, gortex and very light, had my . current pair 10 months and still watertight and warm, I use the hurricane and brimin types.
Hi John ,
I use Caterpillar navigator mid myself. Very please with them. More than a year out of them.. A mate of mine who sometimes does extra work on film sets swear by waterproof socks which I added a screen shot of. He too suffers from cold feet. Might help you out a bit..
All the best

Water proof rigger boots and wheelie socks. Seal skin socks are really good, I use them for mountain biking.
Waterproof socks! I shall look into those.
I've been wearing Viking boots for a couple of years now and find them good. The soles are very thick but comfortable and good for spending all day in the woods. Not cheap, but I've worn a lot of boots over the years and like these. https://vikingfootwear.com/products/women/hunting/trophy-4-0/green-36
Kiwi socks are great for cold weather, really cosy https://www.kiwikit.co.uk/product-category/categories/clothing/socks/#
I have been making the same choice. The two obvious contenders are Viking Icefighter & Dunlop Purofort Thermo. I have decided on the Purofort as they have excellent reviews as working boots & the sole/heels of the Vikings seem to be soft. I

I just bought some Hellly Hansen boots https://activeweargroup.com/helly-hansen-chelsea-safety-winterboot-...
They are higher than my old Dickies ones which wear out after 11 months. They took a week of half time wear to get comfortable, after that they are fine.
Thick wool socks are my other must have in the winter
Have a look on Engelbert Strauss website can't go wrong with the selection of boots & workwear very though long lasting quality

A customer gave me a pair of brand new work boots with a high ankle to give lots of support and protection to the ankles and lower legs.
Lovely looking boots, but I could not bend my ankles to get down to work at a low level, so I only wore them to work once and struggled to do some jobs during the day.
I have the same problem with the high ankle boots when kneeling down and i dont like the struggle to get them on and off .
I find any boots which repel water and merino wool socks such as ice breaker help but steel toe caps could be the culprit when it comes to attracting the cold , composite toe caps could be better at conserving heat as they are non metal but still offer safety protection .
I buy two pairs of cheap earthworks boots which cost around £45 in total and alternate them so always have a dry pair at hand and find they are as durable as the more expensive boots . Have soaked them on many ocassions but they altways seem to bounce back .
Never had cold feet but dont know if this is down to blood circulation or the boots and socks but do suffer with cold hands badly .
Hi I wear Dewalt boots in the dry and for wet or muddy work I wear Buckbootz . They cost about £70 . I'm a commercial gardener and work all year and these are now in their third year of use. I would buy another pair tomorrow if they gave in . Steel toe capped and I think a steel sole plate . Very comfortable and warm
I hope this helps 🙏
Stay warm stay safe
