There are several good brands I'm sure, but my favorite has always been Lacrosse.

Our winters here in Michigan may not be as bad as Finland, but surely they are harsher than most. I use lightweight neoprene Burly's in the late fall for deer hunting, then heavyweight pac boots in the winter for ice fishing and clearing my driveway. Lacrosse has never given me a reason to try others.

i believe that,all i hear about lacrosse,and red is pure good words.
and for prices like that,no wonder
my dad was a shoemaker and thatway ive learned to be real picky on shoes and i dont mind spendng on those,if theyre really well made and last for years,its the quality that counts for me,the fact that is it "hip" or fashion or trendy is allways totally irrelevant for me.

My favorite brand of boots is Magnum. I wear them everyday while working and sometimes when I'm not working.. They are the best, IMO. http://www.magnumboots.com/

[Tarrodemierda]

i have one pair of magnums ,theyre more like tactical boots,the model i have though.

[Leatherman123]

Yeah, I was a bit tired when I was reading this I guess.. 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Magnum Hitechs were about the best boots I ever had, but again, those are more tactical boots than winter boots.  Still, I have never been big on winter boots, partially because I am not a bog fan of winter and it's accompanying cold!

Usually I just wear tactical or work boots with a few layers of socks inside.  I have some thin almost spandex like socks, followed by a regular cotton type sport sock and a high quality wool sock over those.  That arrangement has kept all my toes in the right places so far, and so I'm not likely to change any time soon.

I have been half-heartedly looking for a nice set of Doc Martens though.

Doc Martens are total AZZ kickin boots.  As for winter footwear I guess that I have become an expert since I work in a -20 environment at work.  Insulated boots are great as long as you know what to wear under them.  I have tried all methods to keep my feet warm.  I have found that goretex and thinsulate boots are great as long as you wear light breathable socks and only one pair of them.  Anything else and your feet sweat and you get cold easily.  I have a pair of 600 gram rockys and they are great but I tried 2 pair of socks and my feet sweat too much and they get cold.

Yep about the Docs and the socks and the boots

I guess I agree with the whole post That's pretty much what I have found over the years I try to only wear 1 pair of socks (usually a thicker boot sock but still breathable ) with goretex and thinsulate boots and last few years it has been Rockys I believe they are 800 gram thinsulate (have to go check to be sure )
