Default What brand and model of riding footwear do you wear?

I have been looking for a decent pair of riding boots that are not only comfortable but also good for walking once I get off the bike. I have never really seen this type of posting before and since I finally put in an order for a new pair of boots I thought it might be a good place to post what others have found to work well for them or what has been a nightmare of blisters and sweat. I found that I didn't want any excess material on the boots like logos or metal descriptors so my goal was simple. Lightweight for what it is, comfortable for walking and good looking. My choice was the Alt Berg out of England. I saw a good review on it, the boot is also refurbishable so I can go to the grave in it and it looks good. Here is a link to the review. What do others buy and what do you think of them (good and bad). This is a very important part of riding gear so I can't wait to see if there is a concensus or a wide variety of brands and models.

I wear these 75% of the time.

Been wearing these for several years now and are the most comfortable boots I've ever had. They feel like I'm wearing armored tennis shoes. They're that comfortable.

The other 25% of the time I wear these.

These are comfortable enough, but they're not an all day walking boot like the SIDI's are.

I have Eddie Moran, EM505, very comfy to me. I usually cary lightweight sports boots for walking, due to bad knees, but since I got these, I don't need them. Not high dollar, about $60@ Sportsmans Guide, but I really like them...Russ

Default 5.11

5.11 ATAC 8" side zip boot. To me I rather wear these than any tennis shoe I ever owned. I wear them just about every day anyway, and on my feet a lot a whole lot.
