Wellies? 'Country boots'? What would stylish but practical MNers choose?

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Hello stylish ladies,

I need a pair of WARM but stylish boots for the winter. DP and I do a lot of walking (sometimes 'proper' walks for which I would wear walking boots, but more often just around the local area when I would like something vaguely stylish) Last year I got a pair of cheapie wellies and they were rubbish; I only wore them once or twice because my feet were sooooo cold. This year I want to invest in something that will keep me warm but also look okay. I'm willing to pay a bit more money, but they'd need to last a few years, be totally waterproof and suitable to wear in the snow/ice.

Am considering wellies or country boots

Any thoughts? Experience of those boots? Suggestions of others?

Thank you!

Just why?

Oh my god. What a small world. Just looked at your horse and hound link and that's me!! I've still got those boots. However Huge thumbs up for Cabotswood, the English made / manufactured alternative to Dubarry, amazing value for money, always commented on and super comfy and classy.
