Hiking boots are can be made with waterproof materials and contraction techniques that also help repel water well. They tend to not breath as well as non-waterproof boots due to the types of materials used so you don't really want these types of boots on o ward summer hike.
Waterproof hiking shoes tend to use a lining inside of the shoe to keep the water away from your foot. The outer materials used to make these lighter weight boots and hiking shoes will get pretty soaked but your feet should still stay dry. There is no protection above the shoe so if you don't snug the laces at the top and get into water above your shoe you will end up with wet feet.
A compliment to all of your other your wet weather hiking gear is a waterproof running GPS watch. A GPS watch is easy to wear and it works way better than a compass when it comes to keeping you safe and found.
