Terrex AX2S

Gore Tex shoes are slower to dry. I like the Adidas Terrex AX series in all black. There are many Terrex models with minor variations. Fit is the thing and spending some time trying shoes on is the answer. Low top hiking shoes are optimized for walking, but trail runners are used by many long distance hikers. They shared the same materials and construction techniques. If I was traveling real snow country like the Alps in winter, mid high boots would be a consideration. I do dress casually and I’m not visiting clubs and white tablecloth restaurants. Mid highs don’t look much different than low tops with long pants anyway. At home I use an aquarium air pump to speed drying for shoes and backpacks. USB models are available: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9WW111P My usual technique is to stuff them full of newspaper for bit to soak up excess water and get them close to a gentle heat source like a radiator or heat vent. Damp shoes will dry as you walk. Spare socks are helpful and if you wear Merino socks, your shoes won’t stink. Gore Tex is a winter thing for me. I prefer non waterproof shoes for late Spring through early Fall.

Got the AX5 and love them so far. Had the Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX before and they were great, until the soles came apart after like 30 rounds. Can't recommend.

I've used Adidas Terrex, Vans, and now Nike Pegasus Trail. The Nike's have been my favorite thus far in terms of comfort and keeping my feet dry.

Trail Runners are my favorite, I particularly enjoy Adidas Terrex I always have a waterproof and non-waterproof pair and use whichever is more suitable for conditions that day. I play a couple times a week and my shoes typically last 1.5-2 years that way

Adidas Terrex is the answer.

They start off still and feel like sneakers once walked-in. Used them for 1 year of daily wearing from Mexico to Colombia. Some models also look enough to pass for actual sneakers instead of hiking shoes

I used to be a trail runner convert but I just got a pair of Adidas Terrex and am currently travelling in them and I won't go back.
