I have been a fan of LaCrosse boots for years. I have owned 2 pairs in 14 years and won't buy another brand. They are durable, warm and comfortable. i wear them not only for deer but also for bird hunting as well.
As for the post above about rocky boots, my dad and brother both bought pairs of them a few years ago and I saw that exact thing mentioned above happen. The rubber fell apart in checks and overall they wern't terribly comfortable (especially for the price).
As for socks, I boguht a pair from sportmans gear daily last year. They are two layers and apparently do some sort of moisture wicking deal. I wore them last year in Maryland and thought they did well. The season had some moderate temps but I felt like overall when it did get below 40 degrees, my feet stayed warm.

I have a pair of Danners lace to toe with 400g Thinsulate and I wear a ultralight liner sock. I have had these boots for 7 years, are the most comfortable footwear I own except for my fuzzy slippers and my feet only got chilled once(last fall when I was driving home after packing out an elk in 1 foot of snow, but I think that was just due to sweating too much). The biggest downside to them is that they are big heavy SOBs, which is why I stick to my hiking boots when silence is a necessity and I won't be packing out over 80 lbs of meat. I have had them re-soled once and will wear them until they fall off my feet.
