I have terrible difficulty keeping warm in the winter. I always layer but haven't found a way of keeping my feet warm

I have a pair of Mountain Horse Protective Rider boots which are great but was wondering if there are any warmer boots for yard work out there? I've tried Hunters with 2 pairs of socks and those fleece welly warmers and still couldn't feel my toes

I heard Muck Boots are meant to be quite good? Any other suggestions?
 
I vote muck boots - they are expensive but keep my feet really toastie and last ages. I think there are some "copies" being made by other companies but I have not tried them so can't say if they are as good. If you do buy a pair I would suggest that you get the longer sort with a heel, you can ride in them but they also have a grippier sole. A friend has the ordinary version and complains they are v.slippy when its muddy.
 
Another vote for the Tyne Muck boot. My feet used to get so cold, they hurt and these have always kept them warm with no need for thick socks as well.
 
Yay thankyou guys

I like the look of the Muck Boots, may have to order some! Although I wouldn't use them for riding, just yard work.

Can't go for any long riding style boots like the Rimfrost Riders or the Mark Todd ones (I saw these in a tackshop and loved them) as my calves are stupidly short and narrow, so nothing fits!!
 
I said I wouldnt ride in mine too but did sometimes. No more jumping off and your feet feeling like they are going to shatter on impact

Tynes again.

I wear them with just thin socks and never get cold feet (oddly enough they didn't work in Wales and my feet DID get cold, brilliant here though, strange

) not slippery either. Well, anymore than any other boot that doesn't have studs or snow chains.

I like the fit too, the snow can't sneak down and soak my legs

Mountain Horse do a short version of the Rimfrost Rider. Ive had two pairs of the long ones (I suffer terribly with chilblains) and they keep your feet really warm.. I believe they are effective down to about minus 20!
 
Muck boots are great. I always feel the cold but feel really toastie in these. In fact I wear them all year round - even summer but I am a freak

I do have wide calves but these boots are stretchy at the top and fit snug around. Mine have been worn pretty much every day and have so far lasted 2 years so definitely worth the money. I'll be getting a new pair if they ever wear out - still seem great at the min though.
 
Yep another vote for Tyne muck boots here. I wear them with just a thin pair of socks and have never had cold feet since I bought them. Great for riding in on really cold days too!
 
ariat grasmeres are the only boots ever to keep my toes warm. worth the dosh, ridiculous as it sounds.... because of them, i'm not dreading winter!
a blazewear waistcoat (with battery) which heats up makes a HUGE difference too...
 
I have the Mark Todd boots and they are fab! You can norammly get them for around 50 pounds if you shop around oneline, I think equestrianclearance does them cheaper.
 
I've had two pairs of Hunter wellies, both of which died epically. In winter I'd be throwing hay into the field and smashing the ice in the trough wearing boots with holes in the soles, and ended up with feet that took hours to warm up, despite having so many pairs of socks it was a struggle to get my feet in. Since I got Muck Boots, however, my feet have always been warm. So warm that I had to get Ariat boots for warmer weather, because Mum was worried the muck boots would mess my feet up.

But defo Muck boots. They're so protective as well. The amount of times it's saved people at the yard from battered legs and ankles is numerous.

Good luck finding ones you like

Stacey you want to get your mum to knit you some wooley socks, much cheaper that those posh Mountain Horse boots, plus it will give her something to do after your little mare broke her little toe....!!!!!! <font color="blue"> </font>

The Derwent Muck Boots are the toughest and best (as in long lasting) I've found so far. All the muck boot range keep my feet warm though. Dubarry boots are also good for warm feet in winter, but a bit too expensive for wet, dirty yard and field work all day every day. When its cold and frosty, I wear a pair of old ugg boots which have a heavier duty sole than the more common sort. I haven't had freezing feet since I started using these 3 options. I am absolutely miserable when my feet are freezing, I am such a wimp I have to sleep in socks in winter, I suffer so much from cold feet it actually stops me going to sleep.
