I do more or less everything in a pair of Adidas Terrex trail runners (the Rain.Rdy ones). Well except actually run, because I don’t do that, and I’d avoid anything where I’m actively expecting my feet to get absolutely *saturated*. Although that said, they stood up really well on a couple of recent forest walks where there was a couple of inches of fresh snow laid. Absolutely no soak-through to my socks, across about 6-7 miles each time. And just yesterday I got them absolutely caked in wet mud in the same forest across the same time/distance - and again they held up perfectly. They wash really well.
Only thing I wouldn’t attempt in them is where I’m expecting really slippy conditions (beyond a bit of mud trampling), such as hard ice, or always-wet rock. But I’m a very cautious winter walker anyway, and unlikely to go out of my way to encounter packed ice in *any* shoes, full stop.
I have a pair of Adidas ColdReady waterproof trail runners for winter use. They do well for the wet, windy, cold weather for me in Northern Poland. I used to have some from ON running that were terrible in cold weather, the soles can’t handle it and turn into bricks for cushion and ice skates for traction. That’s been my issue with most trail runners in below freezing and why I switched to the Adidas ones. Nike has some decent waterproof running shoes that are supposed to handle the cold well to now in the ACG line. But I haven’t tried them myself.
Columbia would be my other recommendation for some tennis shoe like waterproof and insulated options that you can use for walking and city use.

I switched from Hoka, best decision ever. I used to tear through Hokas around 300 km, they would just rip...
