Now that the Addison Shoe is out of the business, and I only have one pair of their boots left (thanks to a buddy that scrounged up a pair) I now have some Red Wings and Doc Martens. They are almost as good as my Addison boots, and that's saying a lot.

Have Sidi Doha short boots (~$170) that are great to wear around all day but they don't go all the way up the leg so sacrifice some protection in that area. Great feed back from brake peddle and easy to shift in. Offer significant but hidden ankle, toe and heal protection though and look normal enough to wear anywhere. Like all Sidi motorcycle boots, quality is first rate.

A lot of my wife's horse riding friends all were Arait boots. They swear by them. Last forever and have a great no hassle warranty

I got the BreakLight Harley Boots at Rural King for $94
I think they look great. I've had lots of good comments.
Dual zippers....they're easy to get on and off. Only have to unzip one to remove them.
VERY comfy.
Great traction, and you feel protected.

I wear Chippewa boots. Not motorcycle specific but they work great. They are actually upland hunting snake proof boots so I'm pretty comfortable with the protection they offer. I work in a "business casual" environment and these work in that setting. Made in the USA and all day comfortable.

Magnum Boots, Stealth model use by SWAT teams. Lightweight, all day comfort (available with or without Gore-Tex for waterproof) and, above all, SILENT for sneaking back in late at night...

I ride daily, so I tend to wear my boots 12-18 hours a day, depending on what happens at work. Straight out of the box, they're as comfortable as a pair of old tennis shoes.

I got tired of paying $100 + for Harley boots that didn't last a year and weren't that comfortable. Switched to Bates and was glad I did.
