Any recommendations for warm boots

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this however its kinda health related so i opted for here.

I'm looking for some recommendations for some warm boots, maybe something that's lined so extra toasty? Last year during winter my toes became painful, bruised and then eventually peeled. They've already stated again this year, atm my toes feel permanently numb and freezing, unless they're on a hot water bottle and my fingers also go numb alot too but warm and toasty gloves are easier to find lol
I do have some boots but they're not very warm and after 10 mins I can barely walk as my toes are so painful. So looking for some tried and tested recommendations so i don't spend a fortune trying ones out to find they're no good.

I have dogs so I need something sturdy and practical too.

I’ve taken a different approach, and wear thicker socks. Wore welly socks in my shoes yesterday when walking my dog. Also wear wool-based walking socks.

I'd recommend buying some heating insoles that fit some of your current footwear.

I would look for winter boots by Merrell, Sorel, Columbia. Look for ones that say insulated.

Current styles are expensive but you can often get past years’ styles heavily reduced on various outlet sites or ebay.

Agree with thick socks too but personally I need the winter boots AND the thick socks to stop my toes freezing (lifelong cold person).

I do have some thick socks but they're years old so I've no idea what type they are or even what material, they don't seem to help much at all though so I'm guessing they're not made from any kind of decent material. I'll order the welly or walking socks and give them a try, thank you.

Oh fab, I'll check those out.
I'm thinking i'll probably need to wear some thick socks and warm winter boots together too. Thank you!

Have a look at Drspers of Glastonbury for shearling lined boots.

Have a look for boots with soles that are insulated against the cold. Good socks are a must too. I like Bridgedale socks. You can get thinner liner socks and wear thicker socks over the top. I've worn this combo with Berghaus boots in blizzards in Norway and my feet have stayed warm. You may need to size up your boots though, woollen socks can be quite thick.

Sorel boots are awesome. I bought a pair to be able to survive watching the kids football games in the middle of a field in winter, and they definitely keep my feet nice and toasty ☺️

Panama Jack, the fleecy lined ones. They are also waterproof.
