Reply to comment by zombienudist in BIFL Women's Boots. Must be winterized, and available in Canada. by tinytrees11

If I get the insulated version, will those be warm enough? There's a store close to me that sells a good selection of Canada West, and they have insulated Romeos and insulated Moorbys. Both are marked women's and they have large lugs so I think they would be suitable for ice/snow.

That depends on what you are doing and for how long. Personally I wouldn't wear a pair of insulated boots unless I am onside in the cold for long periods of time. So my real winter/snow boots are insulated but none of the other boots I wear are. If I need to I will add a thick wool socks on colder days. But I am in Southern Ontario so I would likely only see temps down to -20 regularly. You said -30 so you might be spending more time outside where you need more insulation.

These are for outside walking in a city. I do a lot of walking outside because I don't have a car, so I need something that looks nice, is comfortable, and can handle cold weather. I was looking into insulated ones because I want to avoid buying boots that are just a thin piece of leather separating my foot from the outside.
