I will be in travelling to Europe in December around new year and expecting temperatures in the range of -10 to 5 degree centigrade along with Rain.
So i am looking for some water proof shoes which will also be warm but when i search online i can only see Hiking or snow shoes which seem to be quite bulky.
I will be spending time in cities mainly, so i don't need something which look suitable for going to pubs, bars, restaurants.
Can someone please advise what should i go for.
EDIT:
I will be travelling to Berlin, Prague and have booked some tours in Iceland including glacier walks. For glacier walks i plan to rent snow hiking shoes but if same are suitable for cities then i can probably buy them

Some shoe manufacturers make rather stylish boots these days. These might be more suitable if you got a snowfall of a few centimetres or so. Take a couple of pairs of winter socks (e.g. wool) in case you have some colder weather. A true pair of winter boots shouldn't be necessary for the temperatures you are describing, unless you are very intolerant of cold.

Answer 2
As noted, you will likely be fine with just sneakers having a decent sole.
However, these are great for messy, slushy weather:
I've stepped in 2-3 inch puddles and walked away with dry socks. Rain and snow also don't soak through the top.
