I got these from #eesti https://www.samelin.ee/
They have a lot of toe room and are very good
I bought iron rangers, thats classic bifl. But they are heavy and expensive and need some maintenance once a year and you need to wear thick socks inside for them to be comfortable. Bought them 5 years ago and so far they have not made any trouble. Can be resoled too.
They probably won’t be BIFL, but I recently bought the Lems Summit Waterproof boots. They have a “foot shaped” toe box and a relatively wide fit. I should be able to let you know how they fare on ice and snow within a couple of weeks.
They list a bunch of Canadian stockists on their website on the store locator page. I won’t give a direct link because my comment already sounds enough like an ad.
Maybe a Sorel or LL Bean boot. They are only water proof up to a certain depth, but they both do pretty well in the winter.
It would help to know when you plan to wear them, what activities are you with them?
or should I just get it custom made at this point?
I was thinking the same thing and was about to ask you what’s your budget, cause they are super expensive. Another solution could be some boots made as work equipement. And sorry for not having something more specific, like a brand
Now that I think more about it, when we talk about boots that last forever like, this means to me that they will need to be repaired at some point. Why not ask a shoe repair service near you this too?
