Ok, thanks for the input.

I will bring both types.

when i was in iceland, i saw locally they have this boots that's suitable to walk on ice without slipping..and there's no spikes protruded from the sole..i take it as a very good and high quality shoes. but then again, it costs around RM2k per pair..so yup..considering it's iceland, and if the locals can wear them daily for 6 mths per year or more..i am sure its one of the best..which definitely can tahan 0 celcius....

when i was there..average temp was -15~-20 degree celsius

Sport shoes good air ventilation u will feel very cold n feet pain. Get sheep wool socks

nah. i've been to japan during winter, even as cold as 3-1°C. A normal sport shoes and thick socks are all i needed. With uniqlo heatech and gloves.

Why need special boots? Unless you are walking in mountains, normal boots with non slip sole n woolen socks are sufficient.

Sport shoes are good for weather abv 10c. I just wear my rockport n clarks. No issue.

Wow, that sounds good but pricey.

That must've been really cold..

Yeah, I have heattech shirt, thermal socks and gloves.

Ok, sure.

Got it.

cold is an understatement..its always snowing..and i dont bother to put cheese on fridge.jst dump them inside car....but not water bottle though..neeed to take them into room else will become ice...

Wow, ok.

I've yet to be in a country as cold like that.

If you must buy 'special' shoes, then can consider those RM1XX waterproof hiking shoes from Sports Direct. And wear thick woolen socks. If you must la.

I bought a pair and wore it for my trip to Harbin (-30C) earlier this year. Worked for me. Kept my feet warm and dry. Even in deep snow.

Hiking shoes coz I can reuse for other trips, instead of snow boots or winter boots.\

Edit:

Mine is something like this:

Good.. Someone has started to ask this for me.
Is it a must to buy water proof snow boots?
See there is a jump in price in universal traveller

Hmm, this is one of the types that I was looking for.

But, since I already got mine, it's fine for now.

Thanks for the recommendation.

any leather shoes will do. whether its casual or sports. more importantly is to have good socks.

buy merino socks here. buy boots there. problem solved.

you dont have budget, so just forget about fashion shoes.
go for marmot, patagonia, north face or salomon boots. they last, and multipurpose

stay away from camel and timberland

Tokyo in december no need winter shoes..

Cheaper option

Ok, thanks.

Yeah, I have thermal socks, but planning to buy another pair or two just in case.

I have the socks but I will check out the boots there.

Noted on the brands above.

Yeah, Camel Active and Timberland is too expensive for me.

Thanks for the input.

Yeah, getting this spray for my shoes.

But, won't it damage the material?
