Leather boots are fine, steel toe is pointless, dm is trash.

I like how they're doing a welt there and the leather looks sturdy. Problem with this kind of boot is the goretex often gives out before the rest of the boot. (Also, the soles look impossible to replace, but you can't do that /out/ anyway.)

Rest of the gear:
Baselayers are a tradeoff between merino (not sturdy), poly (stinks), cotton (kills). I think linen or a linen-poly-blend could be nice, good luck finding that.
Insulation: fleece, light, durable, dries quickly. Some kind of synthetic fill for when it's really cold.
Shell: Polycotton for a sturdy wind shell, high quality nylon/gtx for a hardshell. Or you try and make do with a poncho. Think Fjällräven and Arcteryx. (FR is also partly trash these days though.)

Foot wraps are an interesting idea, though socks usually last okay. Also I don't think anyone ever wore two foot wraps. Lightweight footwraps should be made of linen btw.
