Are the Baffin Escalate X boots fully waterproof?

Yes. The upper is waterproof nylon and synthetic, so wet snow and slush stay out. Water can still enter over the top in deep drifts.

How warm are they for very cold winters?

They suit typical winter commuting and outdoor chores. They are not an expedition boot for sustained sub-zero exposure.

They are listed as normal width and generally fit true to size. If you wear thick socks or have wide feet, consider sizing up.

They are laced, so they take more time than a pull-on boot. The laces do let you tighten the fit around the ankle.

A rubber outsole, which provides the traction on snow and ice.

The pair of boots only. Socks and insoles are not included.
