In the winter I wear Bearpaw 'Elle' boots. They are not orthotic boots but they keep my feet very warm while I'm shovelling snow plus they have good traction on the outsoles which I need. I don't need an orthotic boot b/c I don't wear them to walk in all day but they do have nice support for what I need. They come in wide widths also. No zippers. Completely and permanently water resistant with no need to treat them ever. My favorite boots for winter.

ETA-

These have real wool lining them and the insole is genuine sheepskin fur.

I have a pair of easy spirit booties coming from Macys soon---they are not slip ins but do have a side zip, I have issues with the flat bottoms of so many boots--I need a little lift in my step. Not sure about support from that brand, but the $$ was very appealing.

Could you check sporting stores or other types like this?

Got to have good traction and waterproofing. The debate of socks vs more insulation is more a personal call.

I deal more with wet than snow here and I finally bit the bullet and sprang for pair of Hunter boots. Best thing I ever did.

@wagirl I have 2 pair of Easy Spirit boots with the side zipper and LOVE them! Very comfortable, easy on/easy off. Hope you like yours!

Boots with no side zipper are a no go for me. I want easy on and easy off, do not have time to mess around pulling boots off and on.

I love Bearpaws boots. I just bought a pair of the Shorty which is an ankle bootie - they slip on very easily. Bear Paws are like Uggs - suede with wool lining - very warm. And comfy. Half to a third of the price of Uggs.

I wear the Emu version of the Bear Paws that @SilleeMee wears. Very easy to put on and I wear socks with mine because I wear socks all the time.

@Jk9

Are your Emu boots water-resistant? What kind of outsole do they have?...good tread for snow?

@SilleeMee Yes, they are water resistant and have a treaded outsole like the Bear Paws . I've worn in snow and stayed warm. Shop HQ sold them several years ago and I bought their slippers too. These were made in Australia and are an Ugg alternative. QVC may have them now.

@goldensrbest. I have a pair of short booties I bought last year from Orthofeet. All their shoes are very comfortable and supportive with built in arch support plus they come with additional inserts so you can adjust the insoles to your feet.

I don't know if the carry a tall boot.

I swear by Uggs classics. They last forever. All I do is replace the insole every year.

I can spend $50 or more on cheap boots and have to replace them every year or I can spend $160-$180 on Uggs and have them last for 6++ years (which ends up to be $25-30 a year).

@goldensrbest. Yes, I did. In fact I'm wearing them today. They are okay but not as comfortable as my Orthoheels. They made of the poly knit material which is porous and my feet get feet get cold. I must wear them with warm socks in winter.

All the Kiziks seem to have the adjustable elastic ties. I get tired of trying to get the most comfortable adjustment and have decided I prefer old-fashioned shoe strings.
