Summiting via Disappointment Cleaver.

Greetings, newbie poster here. Fantastic board. I'm hiking Rainier last week of August, and need some guidance on footwear. I have waterproof Vasque's http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductD...vcat=REI_SEARCH but I'm not sure they're adequate. Although this will be my first glacier hike, I'm not new to 14er's. I'd consider investing in a transitional hiker if mountaineering seems to be the direction I'm headed, but I'm not interested in dropping $350 for the hardcore boots not knowing if I'll be serious about it. Is there a good boot I should be looking at that's a little more affordable, that will allow me to be comfortable and safe on glaciers during the milder seasons? Any advice and/links are greatly appreciated.
