Would these boots be overkill for winter backpacking in the east (NC, VA, WV, PA, maybe NY)? My feet tend to run a bit cold. This is the first year I'll be winter backpacking, and I'm wondering whether I need a boot like this or just a good pair of leather boots (like the Asolo Powermatic 200s).

My feet run cold as well and for me it really boils down to the amount of snow you're hiking in and how cold it's going to get. If you're not in anything colder than -10ºf and less than a few inches of snow you could do fine with a nice leather boot with descent socks. If it's really cold and a fair amount of snow I'd run with something like this boot you're looking at.Hope that helps.
