I use a snow sleigh (snow float)...I don't have much trouble with the snow shoveling, just 8+ hours in the garage on concrete usually gets me.
GRSM suggested that I get some proper air cushion insoles for my ‘everyday’ shoes.
It worked, the pain in my knee disappeared and my feet are way more comfortable.
OK, my turn to gloat for a change..... For light snow (under 3") I like to shovel - it is GREAT EXERCISE and its FREE - beats the crap out of a health club membership! I'd rather buy tools anyway! For medium snow (4-6 inches), I use a regular 30" self propelled snow blower. For the heavy stuff like today with drifts over 3ft high, I break out my 50Hp Loader Tractor with an 8 ft blade or a 7ft snow blower that shoots the snow a 1/4 km downwind! I love them all!

My garage is fairly well insulated and stays above freezing all the time without the heat on...only takes a half hour to get it to sweatshirt comfy. Unit heater was easiest thing to install and I have a fan on the other end wall mounted to help push the heat back towards the workbench and off the ceiling.
I've had good luck with the Dickies coveralls, I usually wear a medium but went up to a large and they fit really well in the torso. Took me a while to realize how big I had to go.
The 3m 7500 series respirators are not heavy and annoying at all...I've worn them for hours without trouble (like when I was busting out the concrete for my lift). They're worth the $50 to get.
LoL as for the beer, I mentioned save it until the end of the day. I have a pretty strict no drinking while working in the garage rule myself.
Sounds like I need to get new work boots...these Terra ones are super comfy and composite toe so not heavy, but my feet do get tired after a day out there...though that's true for any footwear for me, I'm not a be on the feet all day kinda person.
I just mail order the Merrell Jungle Mocs. Slip-on, many sizes, a few different colours, seem to last forever.
Stone carving? Need some pics of your creations please.....

Yeah, after that long it would be getting pretty annoying...but same could be said for any mask really.
Either way, breathing protection is super important.
Do they come in 15 EEE ?
My shoe size is another challenge.
I used to travel to Chicago every six months for work and I would buy pairs of shoes there.
We have much less selection here in Ontario.
A pair of shoes for ‘me‘ is an investment and very rarely ‘off the shelf’.
I dunno about EEE, but they do come in a 15. They are fairly flexible. Try the 15s. Might be worth a try.

For one, I think the stone is better than the sketches....
Here is a Google Search.
Shoe Width
In order of narrowest to widest, the nine shoe widths available in the U.S. are: AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E, EE, EEE. As such, only the A and E sizes are further divided into sub-sizes. At the narrow end (A), additional letters indicate a narrower width, whereas at the wider end (E), the more letters equals a wider width.I have been purchasing EEE shoes for 40 years.
I did not realize you had such a artistic side.
My wife likes to get to the AGO and for paintings the McMicheal Collection in Kleinburg.
When I designed that pipe corrugator in the patent, engineering firms asked me why I sloped some of the structural columns looking for a secret about the section modulus of the fabricated beams . . . I had to explain that along with reducing the deflection under load . . . the whole assembly (12’ x 16’ x 21’) just appeared to be in constant motion.
A key requirement for process machinery that would run 24/7 week after week.
