Have you considered waterproof socks instead as they are waterproof and breathable?

I always use 'dubbing' to waterproof my boots. It has the added advantage of softening the leather up on the boots too over a long period of time. Old army habits die hard I suppose :)

Get decent hiking boots.

Scarpa 
or
Brasher

or similar.  They are the best you'll get if you want warmth and total weatherproof.  You'll pay over £100 but mine now need replacing after 6 years!  Cost me about £20 a year, and they are great for walking in any conditions, you could walk through a river and your feet will stay dry

You get what you pay for when it comes to good footwear. In my experience you would need to pay at least £80 if you want something that is gonna keep your feet dry for a few years.
You can get waterproof for £50 and less but they need regular respraying. But once they start getting wet, you will end up spending more on spray than you would on a (generally) more expensive boot over a few years.

my feet are always dry, and i walk through puddles generally it is the case, but if you keep your eye open on ebay you can get some good cheap bargains!
