I'll stick to my usual advice
Ones that fit. Usually my winter boots are a size bigger to accommodate winter sock wear. Tight fitting boots invite frostbite (depending on location of course)

Ah yes, I assume the tighter fit will just suck the heat from your feet!
That is probably a factor, but the case is that a tighter fit will give you no room for insulattion, which is what you need. I.e a pair of thick, preferably felted wool socks, plus some good innsulating inner soles.
With those two things in place, just about any boot will do, as long as it covers youre other requiremnts for a boot.
Here in Norway I use the same walking boots year round. Mostly becoase I can't afford more than one pair.
But when I go to purchase I always wear my thickest felted wool socks over a thinner pair of wool socks, as two pairs is often necessary in winter.
So I purchase my winter boots with wearing thick socks in them in mind.

Victory awaits the one, that has everything in order - luck we call it
Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it
