I'd wear the Meindl's, and bring some spare socks.
"second wettest month of the year" in the Talkeetna's is still drier than the driest month on Kodiak. And probably drier than wherever your goat hunt was too.
Are you flying in via supercub? If not, bring some hip boots and the meindls. I don't have much use for an 800gram boot until winter.
