Great suggestions, but why not the waterproof gortex versions? A bit pricey, but Merrell has some good deals right now. I just bought a pair of Moab speed gortex and used them in a very wet and very snowy past few days. They aren’t insulated, but have a large toe box so it’s easy to double up or go with thick socks. I’ve been absolutely dry to the bone. Also when I wore just one sock layer, I could actually feel them breath, which surprised me. Awesome shoes!

Because generally it is better to have ventilation than waterproofing for hiking boots/shoes. The vent version is more beloved for hiking, but whatever suits your needs.
