Comments on boots

[The Masons]

I'm looking into buying a new pair of riding boots for the 2010 season--with 
1/2 a meter (18") of snow on my lawn I think this season is over.
I'm looking for someting water proof (not water resistant--this is like 
buying a bullet resistant vest), comfortable to ride and walk in, reasonably 
warm, and won't break the bank as I'm retired now.
I was looking into Joe Rocket Meteor and Tour Master Solution.  Do any of 
you have experience with these?
