I prefer a Gortex, low top, lightweight hiking shoe but the mention of high tops to keep little rocks out of shoes is noted.

I road ride at a pretty high level so I'm not concerned about my fitness and wife walks a couple miles a day but my big concern is the titanium plates in my wife's ankle from a bicycle wreck 10 years ago. So we will do some training with elevation to make sure my wife has the right shoe and can handle it.
High or low boots I recommend gaiters to keep out mud etc.
