My feet are not easy to please! If you have the same problem I do regarding finding the right boot, then you may be interested in reading this.

Interesting boots Phil. Let us know how they work out!

My own next boot choice is made already. I love my Sidi On-Roads, with the sole complaint being not enough ankle protection. Completely waterproof and comfortable. And now, the new and improved On-Roads have added hardened ankle and shin protection, so I don't have to buy Ricky Racer boots for the additional protection! :)

A few years ago, I was visiting my brother, who conveniently lives near Bob's BMW in Maryland. They have a great dealership and a good selection of clothing, accessories, etc. Good thing I don't visit there alone too often.

Anyway, I was looking for a good pair of waterproof boots. I tried on all the brands they have, such as Sidi, BMW, Alpinestars, etc. For me, the Alpinestars felt the best, and I have not regretted the choice. They continue to be very comfortable boots, and they also have good protection and are waterproof.

Boots and helmets are a very personal choice because of fit. I suggest you find some place you can try them on if possible.
