I have just ordered these Boots

I am guessing that the 45NRTH boots will be better with the built in gator, but you could buy small Goretex gators to help shed water.

Regardless of the boot you end up with, if it's really wet all the time, chances are it's going to be quite muddy as well. If that's case I would also consider a pair of light weight waterproof gaiters to keep the water and mud out of the boot.  The gaiter will also help shed water from the uppers.
