I tried on Sorel and Ugg snow boots and opted for the Uggs because they seemed warmer.

10 years later and they are still amazing.

Good call. I have Pajars and heavy shearling Aquatalias. Both are definitely decent and warm but these temps had me pulling out my thirty year old LLBeans lined with thinsulate and those were the clear winners.

OP here, I'm going to order some lined LL Beans for next year, thanks!

OP - this is what I have and even with thick wool socks, my toes are freezing. What do you mean by toe warmers? Like Hot Hands for feet?

Uggs makes an actual winter boot. Very warm.

Waterproof furlined boots from LL Bean.

I was going to say try wearing merino wool socks. I can wear regular hiking shoes in the winter with merino wool socks and my feet stay warm.
Also, the boots shouldn’t be too tight on your feet for optimal warmth. Toes should be able to wiggle.

I never feel cold in my Uggs boots with Smartwool socks.

I don’t know if they are “fully waterproof “ or what that really means with leather boots. I can say that boots from all three brands held up to Mid-Atlantic winter slush with no problems.

Also: I have the Royal Canadian Lethbridge, which I was lucky to get years ago from Sierra Trading Company for under a hundred dollars. The Cambridge boots seem similar, and are still available on their website.
