Can anyone recommend a snow boot? I wear 12 normally and usually 12.5 in boots. I prefer cheaper but decent quality but won’t buy anything made in China
Thanks and Godbless, Texans don’t know shit about snow

Do you mean for travelling cross country on foot or for normal stuff around the house, shoveling your driveway, that type of stuff? I don't know about the former, never needed to walk miles through the snow, I'll leave someone else chime in about that purpose. For normal stuff around the yard I use either work boots or ordinary wellington boots depending on how deep it is. They do the job. Main thing is keeping the water out. If it's a thinner boot you can always wear another layer of socks or whatnot.
If the soles are thick you can pound in cleats or hobnails if you're only walking on dirt, but then you can't wear them indoors and they might gouge up asphalt or concrete. I tried doing that once and it was more trouble than it was worth.
While I "only" live in Ohio, I grew up in the Lake Erie snowbelt portion of the state so our winters were consistently snowy. The type of boots described were adequate in 15, 20 below weather and that's the coldest it ever got around here. If you're someplace like interior Alaska (Fairbanks, etc) where you can hit more like 60 below, you might need something more specialized.
