Kamiks are made in Canada and New Hampshire and are an excellent, lifelong piece of footwear. Shop their styles to see what suits you.

I guess the other candidates are Canada West, Doc Marten, and Ugg?

Hi. Sorry, I don't know anything about them.

If I lived in Kitchener, yes I would buy winter Blundstones and not worry about it at all. If it were especially especially cold, I'd wear some thicker wool socks that day.

Yes indeed I have those inserts. The winter boots are fine all winter in Ottawa for commuting, going to a restaurant or walking around an outdoor market. I would wear something more substantial if I was going to be standing around outside for hours though.

All Chelsea's are going to have that same 'flaw' though, no matter the brand. I'm in Ottawa and wear winter blundstones all winter long, in town. For urban use they are more than enough.
If you're worried on a particular day, wear warmer socks that day. If you're really really worried, you should buy proper winter boots in a non-Chelsea style, something that wraps your whole ankle.

10 years ago I would have said Minnesota. They seem to have gang and crime issues now, maybe because Minneapolis got too big. Maybe its still #2 except for parts of Minneapolis though. So, hmmmm..... while I'm tempted to say Wisconsin, I think Washington state has it beat in terms of geographic beauty and climate. I'd have to look more closely at Oregon and Idaho too - I've been to those states only once. But if you need a firm answer, Washington.

I've been to 49 states (need Hawaii). Decided a long time ago that Vermont was the best place in the country. Safety is just one part of it!

Go for German food at the Von Trapp bierhall, the Sound of Music Von Trapps. Then up Stowe mountain or even just the townsite.

Sheepskin-lined leather moccasins, with or without rubber sole depending on your preference.
