I really like my cowboy boots for warm weather riding so I took them up to the local shoe repair shop and had them replace the soles with good traction soles and then applied a heavy coat of Redwing Boot Oil to the leather. They feel great, have good traction and are completely waterproof.

Not that you can necessarily buy these where you're at, but there's a dude here that sells surplus Air Force boots on craigslist for $10. They are sand-colored, have a heavy, non-skid sole, and are speed lacers. They're like 8 or 10 inches tall. They have a GoreTex lining, so they are supposedly water proof/resistant- I don't know. But for $10, I'm all over it.

I don't know. Three years ago on our first trip to Canada we hit rain just east of Attowa. We ran for four days in the rain. From Attowa to Quebec it rained like pouring out of a bucket, visiblity dropping at one point to less than five feet and never over 100 feet. All across Connecticut it was almost that bad. After four days we finally ran out of rain going into New York. I had on a pair of Tourmaster Solution WPs and my feet never got the first drop of water on them, side zippers and all. After three over 20k years of constant use the liner on one broke loose and that boot started leaking. I've replaced them witha pair of Side Laguna GorTex boots, also with a side zipper. Sidi guarantees them not to leak or they will replace them. There are zippered boots out there that don't leak, even riding all day in a downpour.

I made the same search 10 yrs ago. I ended up with Sidi Road-something-or-other. They were highly rated for waterproofness and looked good. Problem was they were very uncomfortable as soon as I got off the bike. Fast forward to last spring. New bike, and looking for something more comfortable. Sidi's were still doin the job, but was looking for comfort.
Then it ocurred to me that my hunting boots fit the description. They are well broken-in, comfortable, waterproof (GoreTex), good traction and support, and the best part...I already owned them. They now are my primary riding boots!

Cruiserworks boots are awesome. Can walk all day in them or ride in the rain all day in them. Light too.

Picked them up online for less than $100.00 shipped and have been very pleased with them so far. Been in a couple of downpours and feet stayed dry and comfy as well. Wear them daily at work.
