I'd just get some decent boots and were wool socks instead, so you can take socks of for when you're inside.
Completely agree. Fur lined shoes are.. well silly. They can never compare to proper layering. Wool socks work well--- if need be one can add a layer of thin silk or even nylons (but never cotton!). One can also layer thin camelhair socks (socks are almost another science).. I've not seen a fur lined shoe that can compete---- the old Sorels (absolutely nothing in common with the current brand which is complete trash) worked by using an extremely heavy felt liner (felt is an amazing insolator).
