Insulated hiking boots, shoes, or winter boots on flat pedals is really effective at 17... my insulated Merrell shoes handle this well and then it's boot time.
Merrell makes some really nice shoes. I also use a North Face hiking shoes with Gore-Tex lining... With 2 pair of wool sock I good down to around minus -27 Celsius. Anything colder and I would use Sorrels.
