In need of warmest winter boots for Wi weather!?

Question

Last winter I got really bad frost bite on my feet, legs and hands. My feet aren't handling the winter well this year. Any suggestions for bots that are: warm (can handle -40 temps), waterproof, durable, has good traction and don't way a ton. I walk to and from class (10-30 min at a time) and need to be able to go through slush, ice and light snow. Also, can use when it is butt a** cold out. Thanks for your advice.

So far I heard about Sorel's and Keen Vale... details about the boots grams of thinsulate, primaloft etc. would help/ but not needed.

Answer 1

I wore some NICE Sorel boots in Antarctica that are supposed to be good down to -100 F.  They kept my feet pretty warm.

The "Intrepid Explorer", "The Bear", and "The Glacier" (this is what I had at the South Pole) look like they would fit your needs.

Answer 2

I had some problems in having to stand around winterfestivals and photograph until I bought boots with lots of insulation, one size bigger than normal, and wear a thin sock, with a thicker Polartec sock on top of that. They are a little loose (a good thing, tight restricts blood circulation). I got my boots at

www.sportsmansguide.com , they have a ton to choose from.
