Waterproof breathable socks? Because if they're not breathable then you're going to have a bad time. Do waterproof breathable socks even exist?

I have never had a pair of waterproof boots stay that way for more then a year, usually its a rip or seam damage. My strategy this year is going to be waterproof socks with a sock liner.

just get some bad rear end leather boots, anything made of leather is waterproof with the right treatments. wax & grease

Not super familiar with this brand, but lots of high end leather boots like this can easily be rebuilt after a few years by a cobbler. Soles are super easy to replace and even new leather panels can be cut and installed. They take a little bit of maintenance but boots like this can literally last you a lifetime in a Theseus' boot sort of way.
also totally true. Nick's is really good about this, they charge a reasonable fee but will rebuild any of their boots no matter the damage
