What kind of 'mountain walk shoes' are definitely 100% water proof?
All the mountain walking shoes I saw, are made from leather (and plastics). But they will always leak after a while, if you walk through a small river or when it rains.
(Of course I could use gumboots, but you can't climb mountains with those - and they catch water, if you walk through a small river.)
The shoes should be able to hold crampons.

Well you didn't say anything about your budget so I'm don't know, but I'm sure you can find something here.

Most of these boots can hold crampons and they seem pretty legit, but damn they aren't cheap. If, by any chance, you get a pair of boots somewhere that you want to make extra sure wont leak, try getting something called "Neverwet". It's basically a waterproofing mix on steroids and it will work for a long time.
I'm not actually sure if this exact website will sell it to you but you can find out about it here. I believe they sell it at Home Depot though. I hope I helped. Good luck in the mountains!
