If anyone has any advice for BIFL , wide toed winter boots that are also waterproof , available to be shipped to canada, dont use goretex, AND have good traction on ice or steel cleats? please let me know.
Edit : I forgot to add I dont buy from lem’s shoes. Ever again.I plan on walking like 10 or 20 KMs in -30 °C weather with these almost every day. Yes in the snow, mud, rain, or ice. Whatever I encounter.
Also something that I notice about that boot is that there lat met to med met based on this picture of a foot https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Foot-sole-area-measurement-The-surface-areas-of-9-different-individual-regions-were_fig3_325610182
My feet are extremely wide through it s entirety .
From the lat arch to med arch of my foot that is probably wider than the distance from the lat met to med met for my foot. So there is the possibility that barefoot boots might be a best option for me since they are probably the most malleable shoes in the world so they should be able to hug around my sole without squeezing too tight.
I don’t know if they’re BIFL, but I bought a pair of Farmer Boots from RealFoot a few years back. Like all leather goods, they need proper care, but five years in and the only real sign of wear/tear is colour changes in the leather.

Doh! Sorry my fault I should have been more specific. Something that I notice about that boot is that there lat met to med met based on this picture of a foot https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Foot-sole-area-measurement-The-surface-areas-of-9-different-individual-regions-were_fig3_325610182

My feet are slightly wide, all the way down, but very thick. These boots are the only ones I’ve ever found that actually fit well, probably because the boot itself is very flexible and malleable.
I don’t know if they’ll fit your “extremely wide” feet, though. They do have a few sizing guides that might help you answer that question?
huh now that I think aboit it you might be onto something . Cause my feet at wide so should the malleability of those soles be able to make my feet fit? Huh Ill see what I cam find on their website about this. Thank
Also I was wondering what is the lowest tempersture you have walked around in these boots in? I plan on walking like 10 or 20 KMs in -30 °C weather with these almost every day.
