hiking shoes with cleats

Hey people,
I've got a strange (perhaps) question.

Normally when going on a holiday we use our shimano's for walking as well.

however, this year we're not going to bike on our big holiday (BOOOOH, HISSS) and I wanted to take my old light trekking shoes.
However, they disintegrated (quite literally) when trying them on to get accustomed to them again.

Now, I need some light A/B style trekking shoes this year, and they need to be sturdy and waterproofish.
My Shimano's are fine, but have two main problems for this years holiday:
The cleat sticks out quite a bit, especially if I'm ONLY using them for walking.
They LEAK, because there are quite a few hole in the soles to let the screws for the cleats through.

Since normally we'd be going on bicycle holidays I'd rather not buy a pair of trekking shoes just for this one holiday (I don't like spending money on just stuff that'll be lying around for years not being used) I'd rather have a pair of shoes that are good hiking shoes but can take (semi-)recessed cleats as well.
And be waterproof on the underside as well (that means NO screws all the way through).

Does anyone have any idea if they shoes exist and if the DO exist if they are any good?

Thanks!
