My big winter boots I have used for the last few years got a split in them today. I use them a lot as I walk about 1km a day to and from work. I have to walk up hills and on ice at times. Which boots should I buy that will be good quality, keep my feet warm and dry, and last repeated daily use?

I would hope to spend not much more than $300.

So what is the impetus of this price adversness

Do you expect to abuse the boots in a way that will impact it's value and utility?

If you found a pair of boots that would last 10x longer, would you not be able to afford 4x the cost?
