My experience in Ottawa last Christmas when it was around -30 was that most people gave up on fashion and wore Sorel boots. Sidewalks were pretty gross with snow.
I just ware my regular set of Zamberlan hiking boots and some warm socks, feet were toasty for shoveling snow for a couple hours or walking around town.
Keeping your face warm is the biggest challenge.

Thanks for the tips, all. Been looking at insulated Salomons and the like - they seem lightweight which is nice. The -30 thing is on the extreme end and will be for short amounts of time but insulation is definitely important. My redwings get pretty chilly at a certain point and aren’t great for actual terrain.
Will check out the Clarks ones as well.
