Hiking in Muck Boots

[JPritch]

I should have added:
Distance: around 30 miles
Duration:2.5-3 days
Season: Strictly winter

I guess if you're expecting to trudge through a foot of snow the whole way some boots may be in order. I would think regular hiking boots and maybe even your regular hiking shoes would be fine. This might be where gaiters come in handy too. I did a short trip last winter through snow about ankle deep in some places in my trail runners and my feet were never an issue.
