I have a pair of "waterproof" motocross boots like these. They are not actually waterproof. They'll resist rain for, like, 10 minutes. Dunking them in a creek, e.g. at a water crossing, gets your feet wet instantly.
Instead, I just use waterproof socks in those situations. They actually work.
Anyhow, I'll argue that after your helmet, your boots are your absolute second most important piece of equipment -- especially if you are riding off road. It's very easy to deal yourself serious injury to your feet, ankles, and shins either inadvertently kicking something or if you have a spill and your bike lands on you, etc. If you ask me, the only option is decent quality motocross style boots. Not jungle boots, not work boots, not mid tops, not any Bilt shit from Cycle Gear. You want them to be stiff, armored, and reach as close to your knee as you can manage. The point is to protect your shins from impact and your ankles from twisting.
