I ran with GTX brooks cascadia shoes, ankle gaiters, and kathoola exospikes when I lived in New England. Worked great. Feet were warm and dry while I always felt sure footed.
I ran through the winter in New England, and I did fine with Brooks Cascadia with goretex and ankle gaiters, along with kahtoola exospikes. My feet generally stay pretty warm, so insulation wasn’t necessary.
I'm happy with the Brooks Cascadia GTX, no longer fear the wet morning grass. For winter I more often turn to Oboz Sawtooth II Low and have older mids for deeper snow.
Came here to recommend Catamounts! I have Catamounts and Cascadia GTX (for mud/water), and my feet are MUCH happier in the Catamounts. For reference, on pavement I alternate between Ghost and Hyperion Tempo (which is very similar to the Catamount).
Same here I got the last year model cascadia gortex on sale and they have been a hell of a solid trail shoe and the gortex keeps me dry and warm even during my Canadian winter
I got a pair of Brook’s trail runners that already had goretex. You could check to see if they have any at their outlet store in Bothell. Otherwise, I have put nikwax on a pair of hiking boots in the past to make them more water-resistant.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
