Growing up my mom had a pair of moon boots that she'd wear for every snowfall or shoveling adventure. She swore by how much she loved them. She had them for years & years. (She may still have them.) She had them so long they went out of style and came back in style while she kept wearing them. That's the sign of a loved item!
In my grown up life (I guess I should admit to being a grown up at this point), I've never had real snow boots. Unless you count the $10 ones from some cheap store, which were warm, but definitely not water proof. The same pair that one of the soles fell off while I was walking and I picked it up and used some fancy shoe glue to put the sole back on. I still have those boots but I'm starting to realize they're somewhat useless.
A couple years ago I bought the tall rain boots with the intention to wear them in the rain and snow (with thick wool socks on). After very little use I realized my feet were always wet. Your feet should not be wet in rain boots. I did buy a cheap one so I felt relieved when I threw them away.
Allow me to introduce you to my kamik's. I did a little research on these (if Portland people swear by them, where it rains so much, that's good enough for me), spent a bit more money, and I'm in love.
I wanted a shorter, versatile boot and that's exactly what I got. And they even have some traction!
Yes, some snow did sneak in from the top this week, but it's not typical to have 2 feet of snow so it's ok.
