>>1664174Even if they're waterproof, what ends up happening with hiking through snow is that the boot outer layer eventually gets wet and then saturates the leather with moisture. Although it never gets to the inside of your boot (which keeps your foot dry) the wet saturated layer has considerably higher coefficient of thermal conductivity and begins to conduct all the heat away from your foot. This makes it feel your feet are wet (even though they're not) simply because you're losing heat at a considerably higher rate. The solution to this is an insulated boot, because you mentioned you're only in -1°C weather I would recommend the Oboz Bridger 8" insulated winter boots (has 200grams of thinsulate). This will keep your toes warm down to -15°C if you want to go even colder, they make a 10" version that has 400grams of thinsulate and will keep your feet warm down to probably -30°C.
