I love LL Bean but that snow sneaker doesn’t come in wide. My son inherited both his wide feet and his cold feet from his mama, and I can attest that if your feet don’t have the greatest circulation so they get cold easily, being squashed into too-narrow shoes will only exacerbate the situation.

As I’m looking at the reviews of these different shoes from different manufacturers, there’s a common complaint: quality is going down. My last pair of Sorel Caribous lasted 30 years but this one lasted only two, says one person. LL Bean products used to last forever but this pair of boots leaked after a season, says another. Timberlands used to be high quality but the soles came off my latest pair after a year and a half, says a third. I don’t know if quality is in fact going down in all shoes, or if people were having bad experiences with these brands 20 and 30 years ago too.
