Versatile cold/rain boot suggestions
So, I've been looking for a pair of boots that will work for the snow or rain while still being versatile for different outfits (i.e., not duck boots or something "gorpcore"). I bought the Sorel Madson II Chukkas from my employer (I work at a Nordstrom Rack and get 33% discount at full line Nordstrom), but I'm not sure if they're weatherproof or durable enough. I like how they look (although not so much how hard they are to put on), but from what I can tell they're not very weather resistant because where the gusset begins is pretty low. I also read they're not super insulating in the cold. For context, I live on Long Island, so while it doesn't get super cold and snowy often, we do get seasons, and recently in particular the cold has been intense.
Anyway, I was curious if there are better options in this category. Budget wise I'm limiting to around $130 (what I spent on the boots after discount), and willing to go secondhand
(Also if it’s relevant I do have a pair of Timbs as well)
Edit: also, they don’t have to be chukka style, just not technical looking like duck boots or full-on snow boots—more mild looking

Blundstone’s on sale
im assuming you mean blundstone? I cant find anything abt bluestone boots
Yes I do, thanks Tim Apple
would blundstones be better for rain or cold? nothing extreme but it seems like the leather on them isn't designed for that unless you specifically order the ones marketed for that
ok actually, I was able to find that nordstrom sells water resistant blundstones but i'm confused about the difference between models. According to the bundstone site the original is more rugged and the classic is pre-broken in?
(these are the two im looking at: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/classic-587-water-resistant-chelsea-boot-men/7921897 https://www.nordstrom.com/s/original-water-resistant-chelsea-boot-men/7801863)
or are these good? (have to buy insoles ofc) https://poshmark.com/listing/Blundstone-Boots-Size-9-6796f8d2e825d122112e4b35
