I'd bring a warm coat and layers but for footwear you could probably get away with something like Blundstones. But it depends what you mean by "extended"- if you're going to be there most of the winter I'd bring proper snow boots. For a week or two I'd check the extended forecast right before you go and decide then. But you want something with good traction regardless as cobblestones get slippery.
