These are what I wear (Very Comfy Summer and Winter) they have zipper on the inside hence are not water proof but I wear my jeans over the top and in wet weather the Wets all but cover the zip, I use Dubbins on the leather so keeps the Leather water proof and in good condition, I wore them when I was in the States, not sure if they are available in the States, here's a online seller Johnny Reb Rogue Zip Up Motorcycle Boot
I can wear them All day long and into the night without any discomfort, the great thing about them is they are really well made, can be resoled and are specially made for wide footed buggers like me
I wear these in the spring summer fall. In the winter I wear Wolverines. They are not bike boots, but I like that I can ride all day or walk all day. I also have inserts I wear and these have plenty of room. some people have to have a heal. Dr. Comfort Boss Men's Work Boots - Free Shipping
Looks like not much feedback Steve. I'm looking at getting a pair from Bates Leather. Their Fast Lane boots are very nice and well made. They are made in USA in California. Take a look and give them a call to chat. Bates Custom Leathers
Funny Man!
Very likely with my 29" inseam.
I know my Red Wings are 10" and more than enough.
Only had water wick up and over the top once in 12 years in a driving rain and wind storm.
I got Red Wing works boots that I wear at work and riding, and a pair of Bates waterproof for riding should there be risk of needing them. Also they are nice in cooler weather. The motorcycle specific boots seem to offer way too many compromises, and most would not be worn enough for proper break in. More is the fact I just can't find a style that pleases me.
My Red Wings have been good boots and waterproof (I treat with Bear leather dressing every season). Bear Grease Leather Conditioner and Waterproofing
They are heavy and not comfy to walk in - noticeably since right hipand left knee have went WORSE!
I wanna try out a lighter, more flexible boot.
