Those are riding boots, or dress boots. They also make Western style boots with rugged soles for work. I have a pair and they're outstanding on all terrain, including snow. Here's an example:

If you step in mud, wouldn't your boot slide off?

If you step in deep mud, and keep walking, then it could. That's not really a terrain feature where I live. Our soil has good drainage.

I got them because we decided not to wear shoes inside our house, and unlacing my work boots several times per day was a real PITA. These take about two seconds to take off or put on.
