I’m in the market for a good quality, waterproof ‘parka’ type coat, but with the shops shut, it’s difficult
Can't go wrong with North Face IMO. Pretty cheap at outlets (when open) and they do the job.Legacywr said:

Is there any value in empty boxes? I have a box for a pair of Jordan 7 retro in the Marvin the Martian colourway in a us size 13 bout from the USA (if that makes any difference).
I’m about to throw it but I thought I’d ask first.
I’ve still got the shoes, love them and I’m going to wear them until they die but I know some people get fanatical about boxes for some things.
I still have the receipt for$207.85 from September 2015.

Dunno how chunky you want to go but Rollersnakes have some decent options, I got the Quiksilver Storm Drop 5K in 'Crocodile' for 90 quid, nice and toasty and feels well put together.You can add a returns label to your order for £2.99 if you're ordering multiple sizes etc.
Also this H&M one might be a bit lower quality but it's only £20! It probably won't stand up to a good soaking though.

Any recommendations for waterproof winter trainers?
If they are for running, one word: don't.Walking they are fine, but otherwise a waste of time. Used to do a bit of fell running and the thing (according to the experts) is to have very light, easy draining shoes, especially for races with river crossing. They are very un-waterproof, but the point is even GoreTex trainers fill up when overtopped.
Walking wise, go for any decent outdoor make. I've got some Merrells that I've had for years which work, but anything that fits really. Bergahus, On Cloud, Salomon etc.

Up to £100 I guess. As a Scot, cheaper is better...
Since you're just stoating about town, there's no need to go daft on the technical aspect, and just about anything from a decent brand will do the job, and especially if GoreTex.https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/c/outdoor-footwear...

Have a look at the above, and play with the filter by type.

I got a pair of Terrex - and they are fine for our Scottish weather...
don't look too bogging either.
Not a bad call. A few years back, Adidas bought out Five Ten who make high performance climbing and mountain bike shoes amongst other things, so a lot of their tech also now ends up in the Adidas branded stuff too.don't look too bogging either.
