Reply to comment by tinytrees11 in BIFL Women's Boots. Must be winterized, and available in Canada. by tinytrees11

They do make insulated versions of some of their boots like the 2829 but those are men's. You can find Canada west boots for very cheap on clearance too so might want to try them with a pair of good wool socks as that might be enough depending on how much time you are spending outside in them.

My wife bought a pair of these a couple months ago and loves them but they have quite a few models to check out

At full price they are a good deal but that price is stupid low. So even if something is not being made right now you can sometimes find it on clearance if you do a search online for it.

If I get the insulated version, will those be warm enough? There's a store close to me that sells a good selection of Canada West, and they have insulated Romeos and insulated Moorbys. Both are marked women's and they have large lugs so I think they would be suitable for ice/snow.

That depends on what you are doing and for how long. Personally I wouldn't wear a pair of insulated boots unless I am onside in the cold for long periods of time. So my real winter/snow boots are insulated but none of the other boots I wear are. If I need to I will add a thick wool socks on colder days. But I am in Southern Ontario so I would likely only see temps down to -20 regularly. You said -30 so you might be spending more time outside where you need more insulation.

These are for outside walking in a city. I do a lot of walking outside because I don't have a car, so I need something that looks nice, is comfortable, and can handle cold weather. I was looking into insulated ones because I want to avoid buying boots that are just a thin piece of leather separating my foot from the outside.
