Need winter footwear that's as comfy as trainers (or winter trainers if they exist)

Since Covid I've started walking every day, just to the local shops and / or around the park. I've lived in my trainers, and they are so comfortable. I can't see me going back to wearing uncomfortable footwear now. But my trainers are flimsy fabric, so I get wet feet if it rains.

Can any of you suggest some winter footwear that's just as comfortable for local walking? I'd be open to more trainers that feel more wintery but whenever I google 'waterproof trainers' I get lots of fugly looking black walking shoes.

I like the idea of an ankle height boot but with the bouncy soles of a trainer but haven't found anything like this so far.

I have these Josef Seibel ones , but they may be a bit Marmite..

Lovely and comfy though

Hi I’ve just read the whole thread as I am looking for dog walking waterproof winter boots.

In The summer I love Adidas ultra boost trainers, for the bounce and support as I have plantar fasciitis (heel pain). I’m fine if I wear good trainers, fitflop, Gabor etc. I cannot wear sketchers or anything with no bounce And support in the sole.
I’m ordering online so can’t go in, I’m looking at the North Face Hedgehog ones, but wondered if anyone had the same requirements and if so what they had bought. I am happy to spend whatever is necessary to be dry and comfortable
Thank you

Ooh @NotwatchingSpooks I got a dog a few years ago and I can thoroughly recommend Peter Storm Snowden boots. Often on offer. They are the warmest, comfiest boots ever. Though leather, they are waterproof and I can walk anywhere in them.
