There are always the venerable blundstones...they have added the "active line" that might actual fit your needs pretty well. Splash proof, not water proof. Men's Active Series - Lightweight Casual, Dress & Outdoor Boots - Blundstone USA <https://www.blundstone.com/mens-active-boots>
For the local rides in and around fall/winter/early spring Sacramento and the lower sierras, I like these: La Sportiva Wildcat Trail-Running Shoes - Men's | REI Co-op <https://www.rei.com/product/110660/la-sportiva-wildcat-trail-running-shoes-mens> Still running shoes, but "trail" (can I start using the "back in my day" when referencing 15 year old trends, ha) so it just means they are a bit stiffer and have stickier soles. They are also splash proof, but i'd not recommend using these for extended rides in the rain as they take forever to dry. I've had my pair for 3 years now and they are still going strong Come summer time, i throw on my bedrock sandals cause its HOT here, and the river is nearby so I can do a mid or end-of-ride dip in the American river. Not what you asked, but seasonal shoes might be worth considering if your local climate warrants it.
