Hey, Valerie. This is possible with pretty much any hiking shoe or boot out there. Ideally, you're looking for good fit, durability, waterproofness and warmth - but you can achieve this combo a number of ways. To me, fit is most important, so I'd go with a shoe or boot brand that you know fits your foot. Chose a waterproof version. Wear comfortable, warm, wicking socks. I prefer merino. For extreme cold days you can put a neoprene layer over your boot. The Crescent Moon Neoprene Overbootie is a good example. I snowshoe run, and I actually use my biking booties over my lower profile running shoes to the same end. Then throw your gators on and go.
