Really, when was the last Tropical storm, where was the muddy tarmac ( a sealed surface) or snow fall that necessitated hiking boots to keep you dry?
Boots such as yours may be practical in some remote aviation operations and if it is your personal choice, good luck to you.
Snow..... London, New York, Vancouver.....
Tropical cyclones..... Cairns, Darwin, anywhere in the tropics, including Hong Kong, Denpasar......
Muddy..... Could be anywhere!
