I wear some Aussie drover style ankle boots day in day out regardless of the weather. They have been fine in the desert in Maroc and the snow in the Cotswolds.
I guess they may be heavy compared to sandals, but you soon get used to them and they have the advantage of not smelling, unlike my Timberland deck shoes that I used to wear in the summer.
If I was going through very muddy areas I might look at getting some hiking style boots that I can wear with gore-tex putties that will water proof you up to below the knee - ideal for when you are pushing the Panda out of the mud ;-)
