So this is what ‘Winter Boots’ are in Florida.

Back story: I wore out a pair of these traveling around the world for work in the 90s. I was glad they can still be bought. Style is perfect for me. Dress up or down. Goretex lined. Avail in W sizes (I am 8.5EE, Fit is perfect.). Just needed a few days easy breaking in to feel comfortable enough to travel in this week back to Albuquerque.
I wonder if you can still get neatsfoot oil? That’s what i used to use. Or is that too boomer?

While those boots do scream boomer , oil purified from the feet and shinbones of cows never goes out of style.

Not sure if these are "winter" enough.

So I get that this might be too late, but:

These say they are a medium. I have duck feet, wide in the front and narrow in the back. They fit me perfectly. Usually I have to stretch the toe box of a EEE to get something that doesn't slip around on my heel. These were perfect out of the box. If you also have aquatic paddlers instead of walking feet, check these out. I've put about 5 miles on them on the trail and road, so I haven't worn them a lot yet but can confidently say they are comfortable, don't slip on my heel, and are good for at least mid-20's and wetness.
Bonus: They are on clearance both on the website and at retail. I got mine at Marshall's for $45. I almost didn't even bother trying them on since I "knew" they wouldn't fit but my wife talked me into it.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
A long and good read for winter related stuff, including boots:

I also wear a wide/XW, and wide is code word for FUCKED in the footwear world, especially for winter or mountaineering boots.
Winter boots mean no untreated leather and no gore-tex for me. If a boot contains normal leather or gore-tex is likely not a true "winter boot" as I think of winter boots: Sorels, Baffin, Canadian Mukluks, etc.
Schnee’s.
I have a pair, for when it gets miserable out.

I wear Salomons - Quest 4D GTX. Very happy with them. Great traction in snow and comfortable enough to wear all day. Very much a hiking boot aesthetic but its Denver so vaguely standard issue.
