What you define as 'adequate ankle protection' will depend on the kind of riding you are doing - for more off road you want something closer to a motocross boot, for more gravel/on road you'd be able to go for something roadier.
Getting something waterproof can be a challenge for Adventure style boots. Personally I've given up - I wear motocross boots and waterproof socks.
Most of the people on site who wear larger adventure style boots are unlikely to look at posts in this forum - try asking again in the Adventure forum, giving some information about the kind of riding you are doing, as this will have a big impact on the appropriateness of different boots.
