Look at Baffin, we Canadians know warm! And they have several styles that will fit your waterproof, weather rating, and height requirements. I personally found it was a lot easier to swap shoes at the office though because these things are seriously warm and have a good tread.

Yes. I live in Wisconsin. I have tried a few things and love my Baffin Escalades. They are the BEST. They are warm and the tread is amazing. They are also not as clunky as many of the boots I've had over the years.

I found Pajar to be narrow in the toe box and also have variable quality and fit between the styles. Kamik seems cheap, ugly, and not durable (some friends have had their boots but I never have).

A shout out to Xero for their Alpine boot, in case you like barefoot style shoes. I wear these until the temps reach 0* and then switch to my Baffins for the negative temps.
