This isn’t really the community for that kind of question. You’d probably get better replies on NoStupidQuestions. That being said, ive definitely noticed the same thing. No real answer here, but it is a weird quirk with the Lemmy community. Stock photo memes? Seriously? Is this circa 2018 r/youdontsurf??
Extreme weather? Find a pair of legit US military “Mickey mouse” boots. I’ve worn them in 8hr shifts at -20° F and never felt cold.
Just know that they’re not work boots. If your husband need something steel toe or with a special sole, these won’t work. They’re also ugly as sin. But for pure cold weather protection, they’re the best I’ve ever worn by far.
Edit: you may be able to find them cheaper but here’s what I’m talking about
I believe the white ones are the Arctic V.2 versions that were developed later and can withstand even colder temperatures than the earlier, black V.1s that I linked
Absolutely, they’re not winning any beauty contests, but as someone who works outdoors year round, they’re hands down the warmest boots I’ve ever worn. I believe there’s a V.2 model that’s rated for even colder temperatures but I’ve never tried them
Edit: I believe These are the newer models rated for -60°F
This isn’t necessarily what you want to hear but why are you getting a Chromebook? I’m assuming it’s required for your school, in which case I’d get the cheapest one you can live with
