My HiTec V-Lites are doing ok so far (2 winters), and had the advantage of being cheap as chips (TKMaxx FTW). Comfy, light and reasonably weatherproof 🙂

A little over-booted but I'm warm and dry.

I got myself a pair of these last winter.

They're waterproof, at least for one winter, and cheap! They're light, warm and comfortable enough to wear all day.
Decathlon's definitely worth a punt.

five tens with merino wool & sealskins socks over the top do the job for me. they are quick for a bit of off the bike / unavoidable portage too. :mrgreen:

I have been mostly wearing some Jack Wolfskin hunter boots similar to these, mine have a removable thinsulate inner boot and a retractable crampon in the heel. They are huge but chuffin' warm and completley snow proof.

Also worn my Raichle All Degree GTX but they have a very stiff last so not ideal for general wear. They are however super warm and water proof.

If they're anything like the cycling jacket I bought fromn ALDI a few months back then they'll be superb! I'm convinced it's an unbranded big name item but I've not figured out which one yet. Very warm, excellent quality cloth, fits perfectly.

I've got two pairs of Lidl winter boots and they're fantastic value for money, and they've been invaluable this winter in the snow, with a pair of M&S double layer wool socks in. Seriously tempted by a pair of these though:

Fantastic value by the look of them.

I'm sure they're lovely boots, but I'd look pretty stupid in that dress.

Another vote for cheap 'n cheerful HiTecs, warm and comfortable.

standard, ordinary Catapillar boots. Its only a bit of snow, not an attempt to reach the pole. Warm and grip well in the snow. Wear them the rest of the year too and they won't wear out any time between now and when you die.
