All season hiking shoes-boots Recommendations?

I plan to try to get myself back in some reasonable shape by hiking
which the area i live in (Northern British Columbia) is well endowed.

I won't be doing overnight stuff an see that "hiking shoes" rather
than boots are recommended on some general websites (example:
http://www.abc-of-hiking.com/hiking-boots/hiking-boot-types.asp).

However, unless advised otherwise, I'd like to get footwear that would
work whn the snow flies. Then, I'll still stick to beaten paths but of
course there'll be wet and cold.

Are some brands and types more experienced folks would recommend or
should I have a different pair for winter?

Thanks.
