Sorels are what work in the Northeast. Leather bottom boots might be neat but are not as dry or warm as Sorels.

The rubber bottom and removable thick felt boot liner make the Sorel type boot one to have.

If you're not doing any climbing that needs ankle support, Muck or Bog boots are warm and very comfortable. Both brands are very similar and cost about the same.

Kennetreks if I am moving and some discontinued chinese made Lacrosse pac boots if I am sitting.

Sometimes I have to work outside and wear steel toe boots. For a couple bucks a day the charcoal toe heaters really make a difference. I stick them to the top of my sock. Outside all day in 15 degree weather last Tuesday.

I recently got a pair of Danner Canadians and am pretty impressed so far. They are 600gr Thinsulate, and I've been wearing them in -20 weather with Thorlo socks with favorable impressions.

They were "right out of the box" comfortable, and by the end of day one they seemed like I had had them forever!

They seem to have plenty of support for me, and both my ankles are pretty bad from numerous sprains. I really like the bob sole versus the vibrum...I free like I could walk up a wall with them.

They ain't cheap, but what is these days? And they are made in the good ole' US of A!

For snow and cold, I like the Sorel Mavericks. Pretty inexpensive, warm, good traction. They are fairly tall as well, helps keep your leg warm!

Down side is not a lot of support. Fine for most stuff though.
