I have Redwing steel toe work boot that works great for riding, but for all day walking and riding I have a pair of Sidi Boots that are the best and a pair of low cut BMW summer riding boots that are very good. HD boots are not that good imho.

I wear over the ankle (4-6") boots of either Danner (work boots) or 5.11 (all the time). It seems all I wear on my bike are the 5.11's.
I might get a pair of the 5.11's in an 8" lace up with the zipper on the inside for ease for a little better coverage.
The 5.11's are used often by the Coppers and I think the Leo's on the board that have worn them will have positive remarks about their comfort. They have a super comfortable sole that is molded and doesn't require any breaking-in. Gore-tex is a plus for me since I've ridden in so much rain throughout my riding life. Although I have to admit I've had my fill of riding in rain.
Those who've posted about wearing what ever shoes or boots they find in their dog's single-wide trailer house when they wake up drunk in the morning crack me up. Too funny
Herman Munster boots are good and tough if you need to work in a rock quarry but for riding they are overkill and weigh too much for walking comfort once you get off the bike.

I think I'll be wearing these soon:
Qty: 1 | Florsheim FE665 Men's 6 Inch Brown Leather Steel-Toe EH Boot | 11 / 3E
Estimated Ship Date: 2/20/2009
The "6-Inch" is not the height of the heel in case you're wondering. HAHAHA!

I perfer a boot without a heel. There's more surface area for traction when you put your foot down.
I'm been quite pleased with Aerostich Combat Lites:
