RE: new boots??
cabela's pac-boots. Around $120 with between 1000-1200 of insulation.
A word of caution though....pac boots take a little getting used to with respect to climbing trees, b/c they're big. On the most bitter cold of days when stationary hunting(b/c I get VERY cold very fast) I throw a handwarmer in each boot and don't have any sort of problem.
