Holy moly, thanks all. I have to say only ever heard of Sorels and Red Wing. Gotta look all those other ones up.
I mostly just want them to go outside and walk in the snow through the woods, if there is now, if not walking through the muck, stack firewood, go to chicken coop. We are those that are more outside in the winter than the summer.
@Cabin Fever, my winter jacket that I go outside in, not the store is a military parke N . It has rips all over it, no fur around the hood. But it is sooooo warm, I am on a mission to find one for myself. Love it.
