Ahem...
I stick heated toe warmers onto my merino wool socks and wear a neoprene overshoe as well. The toe warmers keep my goes toasty for 6 hours!
Merino wool socks (Darn Tough or Farm to Feet are my go to) and the Noble Outfitters "Cold Front" muck boots. I love these boots, they're incredibly comfortable all year round and I've ridden in them hundreds of times as well. I've heard good things about the "Original Muck Boot Company" muck boots as well and I know they have an insulated variety. Basically, muck boots that neoprene based rather than just lined rubber will be way, way warmer. They have not failed me. Plus, if I'm teaching or out for more than a couple hours, I'll use the stick on toe warmers which really are lifesavers. Big bonus tip: putting on extra socks/etc. and cramming your feet into boots is a bad idea. Insulation works by trapping warm air, so you need some space for it to work. You will be infinitely warmer in one pair of socks that fit well into your boots than in two pairs that are crammed in. Some kids would wear plastic bags or bread bags over their socks, which works great but they don't breathe and once you're feet are sweaty, you're screwed.
For the rest of your body, base layers are fantastic. They come in many varieties, from Walmart dirt cheap to nice merino wool (my personal favorites, but expensive and I only invested after using them for hiking a lot). The cost doesn't matter as much, as the goal is to get sweat away from your skin to keep you toasty, but in general, stay the f*** away from cotton for socks or base layers. The instant it is wet from sweat or something else, it will suck your body heat away and it doesn't dry out. Synthetic or wool is your best bet for anything against your skin. Layers, layers. I wear my base layers (top and bottom), a pair of Kerrits winter breeches (the best I've found, one pair has lasted me two winters so far, too), a fleece athletic top of some kind (love Avalanche gear), a down vest, and then my trusty, rusty Mountain Horse winter jacket. Gloves are weird in a barn -- I've had my best success with a thin water repellent glove with good grip on the fingers and palm that I can stuff into bigger mittens after using my hands (usually complete with hand warmers). Anything thicker and I am taking them off so often to do things in the barn that it doesn't matter if I have gloves on or not, although Heritage makes an "Extreme" winter riding glove that I adore, each pair has lasted me at least three winters of constant use and are impressively mobile for their bulkiness and okay-ish to ride in.
And for when you're back, hot chocolate with whiskey/rum enjoyed in a shower really will warm you right back up. Start the shower just lukewarm or your feet/legs/hands will feel like they're on fire.
To keep your phone battery from dying when it's extremely cold but you need to use your phone, stick a toe warmer on the back of your phone.
there are toe warmers that are adhesive and work the best for me. I haven’t gotten burned by them (yet)
That's awesome. I'm looking forward to reading your Amazon review (I wrapped this around my penis....). I also have the Phallosan.
By the way -- you can easily do bundled stretches with it -- just put a hook under your desk and hook the belt to it so your penis is being pulled straight out....and then twist your penis. I can easily do these with one hand and hold it a really long time.
I bought toe heaters today because they are super small and cheap -- works out to $.66 each I think -- https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Toe-Warmers-Odorless-Activated/dp/B0007ZF4PE/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=toe+heaters&qid=1639004699&sr=8-3
Let me know if you guys come up with any better ideas.
Wool (smartwool is nice, but there are less expensive brands of decent wool socks out there), and if you have some extra cash, a nice pair of sheepskin insoles.
If it's really cold (can't feel your feet at all cold), they also make these things
Depende sa temperature. Kung naglalaro lang sa 0 C, yes. Otherwise, consider something yung may insulation.
However kung di ka naman masyado sa labas (and kung may car kayo), okay na siguro yun, just buy warm socks like yung Heat Holders or yung mga foot warmers which can provide heat up to 8 hours. Ang problem kasi with insulated boots is that it can be really warm pag nasa loob ka ng building, papawisan talaga paa mo, especially yung mga Sorel which are made for -20 C and below.
Though Timbs and Dr. Marten aren't really good at gripping slippery surfaces. For that, just buy cleats.

This is the answer -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007ZF4PE . Bring a few with you. Never have a problem again.
They don't have a hangar of some type for maintenance? That is very surprising, but if that's definitely the case, get a pair of winter boots rated AT LEAST to -20, -30 C or colder is perferable. I had a pair of Merrells that were great. If your feet are getting cold, your boots aren't warm enough. Serious brands like that. Wool socks, obviously. I'd actually recommend ski/snowboard wool socks that come up almost all the way to the knee, so they aren't cutting off blood flow to your feet at all and won't create pressure points in your boots. Buy these. At less than a dollar a pair, it will be worth it for the coldest nights. Get a hat like this. And lastly and most expensively, you obviously need a really warm coat. Canada Goose coats are expensive but are easily the warmest coats on the market, and are BIFL quality. I would also recommend getting insulated pants or a bib. Winter gear is hella expensive. Ask your employer if they can offer you any sort of a signing bonus to outfit yourself, considering the harsh working conditions. For boots and coats, I recommend buying from REI, that way if you get partway into winter and your gear isn't warm enough, you can return even if heavily worn, and trade up for something else (and I think some REIs sell Canada Goose, and there are some other heavy duty coats, it just depends on the location).
To keep my feet warm, I wear DryMax thermal socks and use these.
