Black leather and nylon fabric Bates Durashock Duty Boots - cheap, no break-in time needed, light, easy walking and riding, and waterproof (but ya gotta treat them every season with mink oil). Not the warmest for cold weather, but handle most normal conditions real well.

I wear an old pair of Double-H boots that I used to work turnarounds in. I mink oiled them about 15 years ago and they still don't leak. Paid about $90 at the time. A pair of cheap tube socks work fine.

Waterproofing regular boots?
I came from a poor family. We rubbed Vaseline on 'em.
Works excellent!

I just bought a pair of Hi-tec Altitude IV waterproof light weight hikers for $80.00. They are very comfortable right out of the box, they aren't black but I'm not hung up on the black boots thing, I just want boots that I can ride all day in and still be able to walk in at work or in the great outdoors in the summer. For the winter I have a pair of those Airforce issue goretex lined boots that are about 12yrs old and ugly as sin but still warm and waterproof, I just wish they would finnaly die so I could justify buying newones.

I have a pair of HD that are good. I also wear corcoran field boot http://www.armynavysuperstores.com/cor1525.htmalso my former duty boot. Water proof spray works good, old motor oil works good. Any boot with lots of stiching or a zipper will leak water

RE: Comfortable Riding Boots?
I just bought a pair of HD boots. They werent too bad comfort wise but I bought a 1/2 sizde to big and they only zip no laces. I had to order the smaller size 10's. Should be here in a few days.
I will let you all know. Hope I am not disappointed
