SW Wisconsin | I'm in the same boat. I've got mud and manure to work around, so I really need a rubber boot. I usually just use a size 15 and a couple pairs of socks, the problem I run into is durability. I've had multiple pairs of the green Northerners split at the base of my right big toe within a few days of use. I picked up some good ones last year, I don't remember the exact brand, but for ~$110/pair I had minimal leaking all winter. Dry feet are worth the investment.
A little over a year ago I found shoes that actually fit me for the first time: New Balance 624, size 12 EEEEEE. I was trying to do some running to get in a little better shape this summer, and thought it would be nice to get a lighter running shoe so I could keep going in colder weather than I can run in barefoot, but after contacting most manufacturers of running shoes it seems that nobody makes such a beast. There are about 4 models of running shoe made as wide as EEEE, nothing in EEEEEE other than the clunky ones I've got now, which are great for general wear but not really a running shoe.
Edit: the boots I got last year were Skellerup Quattro.
