IMHO, you should forget the "waterproof" bit in the jungle (heavy boots, GTX and part leather) Things get inevitably wet, and these never dry properly, and are horribly hot. Sandals or trail shoes will be better, at least something easy to "drain". Ankle high shoes are advised, for some protection, and if you do not want to loose them too often in mud (I speak from experience <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />) but I can't really tell about Belize jungle situation ( I only know parts of south east Asia and Australia: danger from slippery roots, rocks, thorns, annoyance from deep mud and leeches <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />).
