it doesn't matter bro, spend 5 bucks to 200000 bucks on a pair of boots with 999999 thenselate and 5 inch of thick cotton laced inside, your toes are still going to get cold. I've been there done that and have the pic. I worn the "best" boots with literally 4 pair of socks and my feet still froze, the best thing is to just deal with the pain.
It doesn't have to be. I have a set of Arctic Sports by The Muck Boot Company that are rated -40 to + 60.
They are light, completely waterproof, and you only need a regular pair of socks. They ran about $120. Just got back today from hiking 5 miles in almost a foot of snow. My feet were dry and toasty all day.
