Instead of water resistance, I'd go look for a shoe that can drain well and dry quick. I used an all black low cut Arc'teryx Aerios non goretex version for a while before switching over to the Scarpa Rapid XT. I found the leather upper to be a bit too hot for SE Asia so I'm going to try the Scarpa Rapid LT (essentially a mesh upper) for my next trip.
Might want to look into the new Scarpa Rapid LT (released Spring 2025). I've had everything from Altra, Topo, LA Sportiva, Scarpa, etc. Really really stoked on the fit, function, weight, and design of the Rapid LT's. This shoe is kind of filling a niche for me somewhere between crampons and a trail runner (thats a big niche).
Scarpa Rapids have been my shoe to bridge the gap between trail runner and approach shoe. They have an edging zone under the big toe and sticky rubber (pretty sure it's Vibram) on the forefoot. I used them for a bunch of stuff in the Wasatch, Tetons, and Winds. They were perfect for things like the Cottonwood Traverse or West Slabs
Scarpa has most of their shoes in 14US. I’ve the same size and have Rapids and Ribelle Run 2, as well as a couple of pairs of boots and casual sneakers, made by Scarpa. They do tend to fit narrow, which is exactly what I need, but not everyone
Scarpa trail shoes. They've been amazing for me.
Had great luck with Scarpas. The Golden Gate 2 and Spin Planet are great in conditions you describe.
Teva flip flops for dry Wednesday and Thursday wandering. Scarpa trails shoes for dry Friday to Sunday Zamberlain Hiking boots and Gaiters if wet and muddy.
Scarpa for more durability than topos
Scarpa, I love mine.
