I need new snow boots, my old ones died after 10 years. I need ones that are good down to about -10C. I only need them for about 1 week a year. I dont want to spend more than ?150 (which works out about $200). So fellow escapist nutcases what's the best boots to keep my feet toasty?

I lived in Boston for many years and owned a pair of Sorel [http://www.sorelfootwear.co.uk/men-boots] boots. That was a long time ago and I don't remember which exact model I had. The ones I had were essentially a rubber bottom with a waterproof leather upper which didn't provide much ankle support. Didn't have much money back then, and if I were to buy another pair now I would go for something like the Conquest [http://www.sorelfootwear.co.uk/mens-conquest-boot-NM1049.html?dwvar_NM1049_variationColor=287&cgid=men-boots] due to my damaged ankles (due to a collection of injuries, not due to the boots).
The nice thing about Sorel is most of their line comes with a removable felt liner, which is more like a very thick sock. Thing is, I sweat a ton, including my feet. Those boots were almost too warm.
My feet are slightly wide so I had to try them out in store. Oh, and it's slightly suspect that Sorel lists temperature ratings for their boots as equal for both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Equal as in -40F/-40C. Probably just a typo.
*EDIT* Oh, -40 is the same for both Celsius and Fahrenheit lol.

Thanks for that, I think I will go with the conquest due to duff ankles from old sports injuries.
Like usual, my outdated advice requires some updates. It seems the old style is the best style. The Conquest doesn't have many good reviews on the US site [http://www.sorel.com/mens-boots/], while their classic designs fare better (again, there are more reviews per model on the following US links):Albino Boo said:

I agree. Sorel Snow Boot is nice to use because it's very warm to feet. I owned a Sorel which I found at http://www.footweartop.com/best-snow-boots-for-men/ and I can say that this snow boots is good for activities where maximum protection is required -- like all-season hunting or fishing, or simply going to work.
