No great weight here but I wear a 13 triple E for best fit. And forget 
about leather boots once winter comes.
I go to rubber boots with felt liners soon as it gets cold or snow on 
the ground. Felt insoles under the liners too
which is why I need a 13 triple E to have room for my feet. Sometimes 
double socks. With this I can usually
endure our Sask. winters. Usually my hands will start to lose feeling 
and freeze up before my feet but I need
to keep active. No standing around at -30F or I'm in trouble.
Something  like these  http://www.farmersplus.ca/muck-boots although I 
don't have that name brand.
I see guys wearing "running shoes" or track shoes in winter and I just 
about shiver. Those things would have my
feet sweating and frozen at the same time but I guess not everybody has 
the same feet problems.
