LL Bean or Sebago (or, of course Rancourt or Quoddy if they are not too dear) blutcher mocs do the trick for me. They look alright and if you do a bit of waterproofing beforehand they stay in good shape. Of course there's been a drought on in San Francisco for 4 years now so rain and humidity are becoming foreign concepts to me haha.

I have a pair of Blucher mocs and due to the fact they're unlined they're cool enough..but I was looking for something a little bit smarter.. Bucks are fine until the heavens open then the suede which I know is treatable still pays a bit of a price..but more so those light weight red brick soles become nearly as lethal as crepe soles on the wet pavements

Look for a well constructed shoe (goodyear is usually fine) with corrected grain leather. Of course CG is usually considered crap... and it usually is. However, a decent CG leather shoe is great for the rain. Anything with a heavier pebble or scotch grain usually works as well.
