They're also nearly $300 CAD. Dear God that's pricey

What are the essentials for winter clothing? (Tops/bottoms)
Oh and I have an umbrella. Something else I'm looking for is ways to keep my extremities warm when it's both chilly and blustery, like yesterday. Face and hands especially.

What are the essentials for winter clothing? (Tops/bottoms)
Vancouver winters are erratic, to say the least. Usually it's cold and grey, with the odd atmospheric river. This January with 54mm of rain was the driest since 1985. Followed by 15cm of snow over three days (which for a hilly city like Vancouver is a lot).

Looking for new walking shoes, waterproof socks and sturdy winter shoes.
Some clarification:
-I wouldn't wear a Pegasus when there's snow out (which is extremely rare in Vancouver anyway, unfortunate timing on my part). I just need to replace my old 38s.
Didn't know it's strictly a summer shoe, does that mean it's not to be used when it's raining? Like I said, these were originally for Amazon. Now I volunteer for a food bank and my shifts are in a climate controlled warehouse, I can keep them in my backpack and l swap out snow boots when I get to the warehouse.
-Unfortunately, the OG Tors are no longer sold. They've been replaced by:
* Tor Summit
* Elite Terrain Tor Summit
* Elite Terrain Tor Ultra Lo
* Elite Terrain Tor Ultra Hi
Which alternative SKUs do you recommend for lined Hokas? Failing that, another option would be something like a Clifton 9, which is $75-100 cheaper than a Tor. Like the Pegasus, I can keep them in my backpack.

Nearly no gtx or eVent lined shoe is waterproof though. Ankle hole and rate of immersion will get your feet wet pretty quickly regardless.Hence the question about winter shoes. The tops of my Pegasus 38s are swiss cheese and we're due for more snow tonight, so Pegasus 41s and North Face Bergen Leather WPs are both on my list. Opinions? Also, these are the only Tors in stock. What do you think? https://www.hoka.com/en/ca/search/?q=Tor&lang=en_CA

So wool socks to keep my feet warm when wet, and lined Hokas for comfort (that won't also make your feet sweat Iike a motherfucker), would be the best combination?

Because the rain in Vancouver isn't like the downpours you see east of the Rockies, yet it can still soak my sneakers, especially after an atmospheric river event. The region's topography makes standing water easy to hide.

They don't have to necessarily be at the cutting edge of fashion, but cushioning effects and breathable exterior material like with the Pegasus are essential because I volunteer for a food bank and thus am usually on my feet during my shifts.

For the breathable walking shoes. Waterproofed walking shoes will make your feet sweat. But breathable ones are susceptible to standing water or puddles (which are common here), hence the waterproof socks to compensate.

Sizing advice for Ugg Adirondacks
That's what I was thinking. When I tried the size 12 Addies, I could wiggle my toes somewhat but felt more resistance. Either I'm actually a men's 11 or the sturdy, waterproof exterior results in a tighter fit.
Although the Nike Zoom Pegasus 38s I have are a men's 10, and I can wiggle my toes just fine in them. Maybe because they stretched out? (I bought them in 2020)

Sizing advice for Ugg Adirondacks
Addies don't have the same slouchy outer material because they're designed to be waterproof.
