Heh had the same issue with shoes one time, school thing (dogsled bit was from a school too) and one pair of shoes we had were some high top canvas sneakers guess converse like? But random supplied by the school you had to take (folded into packs nicely at least). Maybe the sole was better though. Then hiking in the Rockies up high in late August it did freeze (many decades ago now probably not today at the same time) and cause of river crossings during the day and no way to properly dry them lthe canvas froze in whatever lumpy position they rested in. We all had least two pairs of shoes so not too bad but having to deal with and was probably only -5 at worst. Mean I least I know how to deal with it but not something I’d purposely put myself in anymore.
