My experience with "Bean boots" is that they're cold and not waterproof. And uncomfortable. The look seems to be fashionable at the moment. Take what you will from that. I do wear LLBean GTX Cresta hikers most of the time in the winter. The people I know who really work in the woods wear either

Good news, Drew! While wet, cold, muddy is one of the danger zones for boots, those conditions are common in the US, so there is an easy solution (If you needed colder, it could get trickier)! Sorel or LL Bean or equivalent is about right. If you get a boot with a liner, get two pair of liners
