Welcome! I think you are an hourglass, but I'm not too good at this so I defer to the experts on this forum!

And another welcome from me! If you have a smaller waist relative to your hips, you're usually pear shaped. Instead of adding a belt, you can have your pants altered to fit perfectly. Does that make sense?

oneisha- from your photobucket pics, I'm not seeing a pear or hourglass at all! Your torso looks quite straight, so my guess would be a rectangle or even an inverted triangle, because you've got nice a strong shoulder line. This doesn't mean that your waist isn't smaller than your hips, of course- you could just be proportioned differently. Slimmer front-to-back rather than side-to-side for instance.

Definitely look into skinny or straight leg jeans- there is no way you'd look chubby or stubby! As for boots, there are many practical styles out there that don't look like "snow boots", but rather more like flat riding boots, or biker boots. Look for something with a warm lining that is waterproof.

Yes, skinnies in a dark wash with a dark boot will be leg-lengthening and look nice. Are you sure you need actual snow boots? What about a water-resistant boot with a rubber sole that you can dress up or down? I walked all over London in 30 degree weather with skinnies tucked into boots similar to this one:

I do believe that many waterproof / snow boots come with at least some kind of heel nowadays. As someone also on the short side, I know you can often feel uncomfortable without the usual lift. I don't know your style, but a quick search yielded:
