For boot socks, you almost certainly want a yarn with wool in it - it really does stay warm even when it's wet.
I wonder if you'd get gauge holding two strands of conventional fingering-weight sock yarn together? If not, maybe a superwash wool (Cascade 220, Moda Dea Washable Wool) or a wool-synthetic blend (Wool-Ease or Plymouth Encore).
