Ya gotta be a TOUGH MANLY MAN to make it through NorthEast winters.....
Just kidding, man. It's a great question, actually. This is my experience...
You're going to need wool socks to keep your feet warm. I personally like Darn Tough socks and some from a label called Mountain View I got at Ocean State Job Lot for $4.00 (70% merino). You don't have to spend a ton of money to get wool socks. TJ Maxx and Marshalls have slightly irregulars on sale quite often around here. Not sure about California, tho. Avoid cotton socks. Run far, far away from acrylic socks. Look for socks that are mostly (>50%) wool. Nylon will give them some durability.
You're also going to need to learn how to take care of your boots! Maybe you do this already, but if not...
The simplest thing to do is wipe them off with a clean towel after you get back indoors.
You're also going to have to treat your leather boots with some kind of dressing. Frequency varies, but at least once a year. Once a month is probably overkill. So find something in-between that works for you.
This is strictly in my opinion and experience, but the two best products I've found for this are Obenauf's Leather Protector and Huberd's Shoe Grease. WARNING: Obenauf's WILL darken the leather. That's no big deal to me but for some people it's a non-starter. Huberd's doesn't seem to darken leather, but YMMV.
Lastly, Bick #4 does a real nice job of conditioning and cleaning leather shoes/boots. I only use this when I think my shoes/boots are looking a little grubby. Bick #4 does NOT darken leather at all.
I hope you get a chance to "enjoy" a "real winter" sometime soon. One of the most fun experiences I've ever had was hanging out with a buddy from India who had never experienced snow before. He thought it was glorious. It made me take a new look at it, and winter CAN be glorious if you want it to be.
Personally, I love Bickmore no. 4. I just squirt some right onto the shoes and then rub in circles with a paper towel. My boat shoes/Docs/ankle boots look and feel amazing after.

I apologize, those links are for a lot smaller quantity than 32 Oz.
This one is for a 32 Oz. can, but it's asking for $9 shipping.

This is the most recommended over at /r/goodyearwelt. I use Obenauf's oil on my boots. I think it'll darken things more than the Bick's will.
I have a cheap car and so I’m not familiar with the brands that sell carseat conditioner, but if it’s the good quality kind of conditioner that doesn’t leave gunk in the pores of the leather, you should be good.
This is a nice one that works for both shoes and car seats.
Ok. The daily questions thread is the place for this - Here's today's thread.
But I might be able to help. Those don't really look that bad! Have you tried using any product on them? I would think that multiple light coats of Bick 4 would do a great job of nutrifying the leather and restoring a bit of the natural softness, etc.
There is also neatsfoot oil which is great for leathers that have seen better days. I use it to restore a pair of absolutely trashed boat shoes every year and the stuff can work wonders, with the caveat that it can/will darken the leather a bit.
The pictures are of the boots before I conditioned them. As for what I used, I use the conditioner I purchased for my RM Williams, it's their own brew. If you contact Truman Boot Co. they will recommend Bickmore Bick 4
I just got my new pair of Red Wing Backman Round in black. I'm just getting started in GYW boots and care practices. I have a bottle of Bick 4 on the way for my Iron Rangers in copper rough & tough. Would that also be good for the Beckman 9014's? Or should I pick up a bottle of Saphir Creme in black? I know they won't need conditioning for a while but I'm shopping for and doing research on products now.
My feet are going to hate me, breaking in Iron Rangers and Beckmans at the same time on alternating days...
