Or bite the bullet and get a pair of custom Russell boots. I have two pair, both all leather, one with a triple vamp (high country hunter), the other a double. The vamp refers to the number of layers of leather on the boot. I have never had wet feet, hunting in rain, sleet, snow or crossing streams. The boots seem to breathe well, but do not allow water to get in quickly. As others have said, good socks are key to foot comfort and warmth. I'd still be wearing the triple vamp boots, but a serious ankle injury forced me to get some boots with extra ankle support. The triple vamps were purchased in 1991 and I'm on my 4th pair of air bob soles. .
Spend the $ and cry once!
