Here's a trick I haven't seen anyone else mention: bring along a thin plastic garbage bag, clean all the snow and mud off your non-plastic boots, then put them into the bag, making sure to wrap up the end of the bag to keep any remaining crud inside it, then put it in your sleeping bag over night. You will have reasonably warm, non-frozen boots in the morning without having to deal with the cost and other down-sides of plastics.
