i currently ride in offroad shimano boots. they are very comfortable to walk in and grippy when i'm dismounted as a light/stop sign and were very inexpensive. but i have two problems with them: 1. they are early 21st century mountain bike shoe with a lot of flex that drives me nuts 2. they are not waterproof
are there any road shoes that have adequate traction of asphalt/ concrete and as a bonus are waterproof or should i stick with mtb shoes?
i have an extra pair of regular shoes at my destinations to change into.

From my experience, you best forget about finding fully waterproof (SPD) footwear. The best solution I've found for cold, wet weather riding is from Lake.
But in order for your feet to remain dry in heavy rain, the Lakes must still be supplemented with neoprene socks or booties. The soles, comprised of a softer rubber compound, offer superior traction over a typical MTB shoe featuring a hard plastic treads.
