For years I tried to find a boot for deer hunting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. There was usually snow (pre global warming), but the spot we liked was so swampy that you'd often find yourself standing in an inch or two of water.
I tried everything. Rubber boots (too sweaty). Felt pac boots with rubber bottoms (too sloppy to walk in). Guaranteed waterproof leather boots of various sorts (feet always got wet).
After 30 years, I hit on a recipe that I like. I wear wool socks, Cabelas thinsulate goretex socks, and Cabelas Ultra light insulated Goretex boots.
The key is the two layers of Goretex. One layer is never quite enough in water or wet snow, but two layers keeps the water away from the wool socks, and wool is warm even when wet, should my feet sweat.
The light boots fit well and make for pleasant walking. I do need to go up a half size to allow for the socks. I also use this recipe for elk hunting in rainy Western Oregon.
