Check out the Superslam by SILVIS the ones that Chuck adams wears. I have both 600 and 1200 gram and they are superb. I have walked done water runn-offs in the rain and through many creeks and they have kept my fett dryer than can imagine. They have a gore-tex shock liner. The have a vibram sole with great traction and are extremely light under 3 pounds. These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned, and only cost about 100 bucks.
