I had good experiences with the Lake MXZ 303 boots last winter, it's nice to clip in and not feel totally violated by the blustery winds here. The Lakes take my comfortably down to 10F and below.
I bought some aerogel footbeds on Amazon and installed a pair in my Fall commuter shoes, they really take the curse off the cleat channeling cold into the shoe, happy I got them.
