I also carry a school back pack

I actually know a guy who got kidney stones from drinking a lot of that
stuff.

As the fair weather of summer fades toward a more demanding
season on the bike, I'm thinking of going to a super wide,
(BMX???) style pedal on my ice bike.

I've similarly been considering these studded Wellgo thingies, too:

But they seem to want smooth soles, and my work boot soles
are more waffle-y treaded.

Maybe a cheap pair of toothy VP shin-biters would do the trick.
Which is what I've already got, except with toeclips on 'em.

My insulated steel-toed boots end up rubbing against the crank
causing accelerated wear to the insides of the boots during
the winter commute.

hmmmm, you made me look (at mine) :-)
But there's no apparent wear on mine. However, I do keep my
toeclips mounted fairly outboard.

Toe clips are definitely out. Too constraining with such
footwear, plus, I don't like the idea of being "buckled in"
riding ice!

My size 10's almost fit my toeclips. I'm using plastic
Mt Zefal's MTB clips & cordura straps. I don't (can't) cinch
the straps with the work boots, though. But with my other
shoes,they're actually quite extractable, even when cinched.
IOW, they're definitely /not/ like a secure, track bike system.
But I wouldn't use them on frozen surfaces, either. I've got
rubber flatties for that. If & when I get used to riding on
snow and ice.
