The XA Pro 3D XCR is pretty good. It's Gore-tex upper keeps the mud and water away. It took about a day to get used to as the sole is stiffer compared to the Asics 1120 that I am used to wearing.

The downsides of this shoe is that as breathable Gore-tex claims it is... it isn't. It gets real stuffy in the shoe, but luckily they do make a version without the Gore-tex. It also doesn't provide the greatest traction on wet footpaths.
