i have been really suffering with my feet on the farm this winter and somene recommended muck boots. i have just got a pair of muck boot ESK's they are a little expensive at approx £65 but my feet have never been as warm as they have been in the last 2 days, well worth the money. don't get the TACK ones which are advertised for using round the yard they are lethal in this weather.
 
you can buy some toe warmers that sit in your socks, they are a bit like little tea bags and the heat lasts for 8 hours, you should be able to get some at an outdoor/camping/leisure type of shop or search on line. i got mine in Macro. they are really good and there are hand ones too. hope that helps!
 
I second Muck boots. I got the Tyne ones, as I just needed a sturdy pair of wellies to ride in, but haven't been able to help noticing toasty feet all the time

I too have hoofing great chilblains on my feet, havn't had 'em for years but they've come back to haunt me! Some of my toes have doubled in size!!
Try to keep your whole leg warm and do NOT have a hot bath to warm up until you have been in for a while, however I've done everything sensible and still got the buggers!
 
Snowfire from the chemists. Its a little stick and you rub it on- it really helps. Only costs a couple of quid and lasts for ages
 
I am also another one for muck boots!! All of us where them down our yard!! They are sooooo warm!! If you look around you can get them from about £45 - £55 quid.
 
^^^^^ second this!! Yesterday I wore my wellies with 2 pairs of socks and fleecy liners and my feet were freezing.

Today I wore my Grasmeres with one thin pair and one long pair of socks and had toasty tootsies all day :-)
 
Rub deep heat into your feet, then two pairs of socks

It works most of the time, just don't stand around. Walking keeps the blood pumping around. Snowfire is marvellous if you already have chillblains
