Personally, I think the boots you own, if they fit well, will work just fine. I wear Danner Mountain Lite II's 12 months a year when I'm hiking - from near zero in the winter to 90+F with 90% humidity - the main thing I do when it's hot out is to let my feet and boots air out at lunch stops and change my socks ... and I ditch the gaiters when it's warm - I find that a leather boot breathes just fine - so long as you don't snow-seal 'em to death - just my 2cents (and an opinion that the boot retailers probably wouldn't appreciate).

A pair of coolmax (or similar) liner socks combined with 100% wool ragg socks (to get the moisture away from my feet) seems to work well for me (and my feet sweat a lot).
