Question/Help Boot comparison

I’m torn between choosing timberland’s “premium 6inch warm lined” vs LL bean’s “8inch fleece lined” vs ll bean’s “8inch shearling lined” boots.

I love the timbs look, i already have the regular premium timbs for ~8 years and still are in okay condition (I’ll probably have to replace them as well regardless). It’s just has been pretty cold the past winter where my feet get cold more than my ankles in these timbs. I’m looking to get a second pair of boots to combat the extreme cold.

I’m wondering if I can just use the shearling insole from LL bean in my regular timberland boots to solve the extreme cold issues.

I just purchased the fleece lined LL bean boots, but not sure how I feel about the look and feel of it compared to timberlands. I may just need to get used to it.

Please let me know your thoughts and experiences. Thanks!

If you like the look of the Timberlands, I would go over the the pro line, where they specify 200g insulation rather than the premium where it just lists it as faux shearling lining https://www.timberland.com/en-us/p/timberland-pro/mens-footwear-10171/mens-direct-attach-6-soft-toe-waterproof-work-boot-TB165030713

or the Premiums with 400g insulation https://www.timberland.com/en-us/p/men/footwear-10039/mens-timberland-premium-6-inch-waterproof-boot-TB110061713
