I have never experienced winter before, because I'm from Singapore (where it's summer all year round). So I'd like to know, what kind of boots should I get for winter while I'm holidaying in Europe somewhere late in december? It will get to -5 coldest.
I'd like to know if it is okay for me to get converse leather shoes for winter, but I'll be wearing wollen socks with it. Is that enough for winter?

Cold isn't your problem in much of Europe in December. WET is your problem.
I wouldn't rely on converse shoe to stay dry. They might keep ya warm, but they wont keep ya dry.
You want to make sure whatever you get is very much waterproof. If the temperature is hovering around zero, it could be wet, icy and slushie as well as cold. If you are doing lots of tourist-y things, a waterproof, lite-hiking boot might be your best bet. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
