My feet run hot if I'm hiking a lot in all but the coldest conditions. However, put me on my but behind glass for an hour and I want insulation. I always have a couple pairs of boots on hand but I'm not packing in overnight. I sometimes swap boots as much to give one pair a chance to fully dry as anything. I do not like short boots.
My uninsulated boots are Kenetrek Mountain Extremes and I have an older pair of Columbia boots that are 600 grams. I've worn the Columbia's long enough on cold weather hunts and just out in the snow that I doubt think they are equivalent to 600 grams any longer but they work for me.
Give up on buying boots based on popular opinion. Boots aren't like buying a tent or even a sleeping bag. You have to figure boot comfort for your own feet.
