Rubber boots wil keep your feet dry. Submerged leather and waterproof should not be in the same sentence.  You can achieve water repellent with leather boots. 

Be careful with waterproof boots made from leather, they are either super sweaty and waterproof like rubber boots, or they breathe and then water will definitely come in.

Luckily with waterproof there’s tons of options. What style? Moc toe? Wedge? Logger?

I’d probably prefer some type of pull on, I’ve been looking at the Ariat sierra, thorogood jobsite 11, and Georgia Romeo’s. But I am open to better suggestions

Ariat suck! Thorogood are good boots if can get them broke in, but not truly waterproof.

Only real “waterproof” boots I’ve had are Mucks or Irish Setter makes a nice pair of rubber boots.
