Yes, a more traditional boot will keep you warmer than rubber boots. I've used rubber boots before and they seem to suck the heat out of my feet. Also, some of my hunting buddies use an insole that has a pocket built in for one of those "hot toes" warmers but I don't know where they got them.

get some good wool socks that wick moisture away. stay away from cotton socks
also make sure your boots are completely dry inside. i put mine on a boot dryer
every night when i come in from ahunt

Make sure your toes have plenty room to move.  Your feet will stay wormer if your boots fit big enough to create oackets of worm air. My feet stay warmer with a one oair of socks and room to move then if I put on two or three pair and smash them into my boots.
