always questioned the idea of waterproof hiking shoes. If you're just talking <2" of water, you might be able to find something. the problem is that if the water is more than about 4", you're getting wet from the top and then the waterproofness works against you.
Spring is where I find them most useful, especially off trail and in the mountains. Not so much standing water, but mud, spring snow, heavy dew, etc. you’ll be soaked in that stuff quickly in non-waterproof shoes, but don’t necessarily need a full boot, especially with gaiters.

Okay so our trip is May 21-28th so is that late enough where waterproof shoes are not necessary as often as early spring?
