Off to the north of Finland next month and I'm thinking I'll need some snow boots, for 'apres-ski' or general mooching about, rather than for actual winter sports. Don't want to spend a fortune, but I'll probably sell them on after anyway, so price isn't a major factor.
We were up in an area called nellim a couple of years ago in the winter.
They provided boots for everyone. and they all pretty much had sorel caribou boots. Was -25 some days and they were good.
get something you can use back here.
Actually I could do with some pointers here too.
not wellies. GF is hankering after some, preferably with minimal soft soles.

Wearing mine today, did six miles around the valleys close to Biddestone. The only issue is that they could do with an insole; they have a felt inner boot with a rubber sole, but there's no insole, so I made some out of foam carpet underlay, which makes a big difference to comfort. I've found some 5mm thick wool felt insoles on eBay which I'll replace those with, felt being a bit denser.
I paid £70 for mine in a sale, but they're cheaper overall than Canadian equivalents. Pretty grippy sole, too; it was very muddy and slippery where I was walking today.
Too sensible I think.
I don't think she's after practical boots. Hmmm...the googling continues
Decathlon do several versions for various budgets and cold levels.
The above options where all sensible, pragmatic, cost effective suggestions.
I ignored your advice. 😀
Got a Cotswold Outdoor near you?
They stock thinsulate lined North Face boots, and the Caribou's, amongst others.
Personally I like the North Face Chilkat, toasty warm and good for this country as well.
I've got a pair of these:

And they are brilliant - use them for apres ski, but they were bought for cold testing (down to -30 or even lower) and with a good pair of socks they keep your feet proper toasty. Great grip on snow/ice as well.
TkMaxx had some Sorells (sp?) in the other day
Decathlon have amazing super sub zero boots in for not much money either.
