Best shoes for landscaping?

What’s your go-to landscaping shoe?
I’m constantly in the market for landscaping shoes because nothing seems to keep my feet dry or stand up to the abuse.
Here’s my priority list:
Comfortable (breathable/ can work in them all day)
Waterproof - not water resistant
Firm soles for shovel work
Durable - won’t wear out from pinching from squatting
Easy to clean
I’ve had the best luck with Adidas Terrex GTX, but they only last 2-3 months before falling apart. I’ve tried just about every other brand, the biggest failure being “waterproof,” which usually fails after a week or two.
I’m turning to you, landscapers of the H&G board, for your recs. White new balance shoes need not apply. TIA!

I mean how much landscaping are you doing? Just wear some old tennis shoes

Merrell is the answer you seek. I run solo op landscaping on the side. My step counter is easily over 10k steps each day. I replace every year, but they still have plenty of life when retired.
I prefer waterproof low tops. Lets me get working early on dewy or damp morning. The low tops breath pretty well. In fact I only work in two shoes, the Merrells and shrimp boots for when its real nasty.

Low cut hiking shoes gore Tex trail runners won’t hold up or just get waterproof boots like most Guatemalans
