Just buy whatever fits your foot from a reputable brand. All depends on your foot shape – Berghaus, for example, tend to be very high volume with a wide-ish heel, particularly the ex-Brasher, leather models, which might or might not work for you. Also your feet swell up slightly during the day so ideally best to shop for boots in the afternoon.
Gore-Tex liners are okay, but sit inside the boot so water can eventually pool between the sock-liner and the boot outers, which will feel cold even it it doesn’t leak. Little known fact: we don’t have wetness receptors on our skin, so when you feel ‘wetness’ it’s actually a combination of cold and the sensation of liquid movement (or something like that), which is why what feels like wet feet / socks isn’t always.
If Scarpa works for you, they do a very few OutDry lined models which, ime, are better waterproofing solutions than GTX, but unless you find some reduced will be outside your price range probably.
