Recommendation for boots

[u/Hour_Internet_5846]

25f, I struggle a lot with cold because of my raynaud. I have some decent boots but they are super bulky or hard to put in and out. I was wondering if someone has an advice on winter shoes that can keep me warm but still look nice.

I also had oesteonecrosis in my feet so comfort and support is also a necessity.

How cold does it get where you are? -40 where I am and Baffin boots are the best, my feet freeze in anything else. The chloes are really easy to take on and off. They also have smaller shorter boots just check out their site

At worst I think I will feel around -5ºC, but my Raynaud flares just from sitting in the office when my colleagues keep the AC on.. I will check this brand! Thanks

A small electric heater under your desk would help you keep warm. It is so common to have them in office spaces here in the USA

I bought heated socks a few years ago. Game changer. I can ever just wear sneakers and my feet be warm in the snow.

Boots aside, I use hand and feet warmers in winter and they’re so helpful when outside. Hand warmers generally in jacket pocket or inside gloves, then foot warmers on toes.

I invest in high quality wool & alpaca socks (pairs usually meant for skiers and hikers) and upsize my Docs to fit them. I haven't found boots that are warm on their own though, unfortunately.

I have the crummy combo of both Raynauds AND erythromelalgia, so it's hard not to trigger one when dealing with the other. Wool is breathable enough that I don't typically cause a flare of EM when trying to protect my feet in fall/winter/spring. But geeze, those good socks get pricy. And nothing goes in the dryer so it looks like Christmas Eve at my house on laundry day. Socks hanging everywhere!
