Hush Puppies is a brand that sells quality shoes..they have many boots that are guaranteed waterproof, some with worry-free suede and they're not ugly.

I own a pair and I really liked them! You could get them from Sterlings, StoneRidge, Joneve and etc and I know many shoe stores are having 50% off selected sale now :)

I got mine for like $40 but the original price is like $100 something...I wore it in the snow and rain...the inside is never wet! I never regretted buying it. You could check out their website..

Btw if this is for skiing or some sort I really think you should wear those shoes that you're required...aren't there snowboots?
