I have a pair of Harley FXRG boots. They are Gortex and leather....they broke in quickly and have never leaked. As a matter of fact, a pipe broke in my garage and filled them up with water. The boots stayed full to the top until I emptied them out.

Default work boots

I just bought a pair of the Justin black work boots with the 8" top that lace up ( speed laces) and they are very comfortable have a good sole and do not slip in the wet conditions. Got them at the local Justin outlet here in Fort Worth Texas. Regular price was 149.00 got them for 79.00 bucks.

I bought a pair of Wolverines 6" lace up on sale at Cabelas for $60.00, the most comfortable boots I've ever put on my feet. and the best thing is that they don't have an H-D logo or any *** looking buckels or studs on them, just a great pair of boots.

When I first got my bike I ordered a pair of Harley boots. They are very well made and comfortable enough to wear, especially just riding. Funny thing is, the only pair of boots I end up putting on are a pair of steel toed Sear's leather hiking boots. Think I paid about $50 for them ten years ago.

Get Harley FXRG boots. They're totally awesome, and seem to fit all your needs. In addition they are very weatherproof.

I have had a pair of the Magnum Sealth Force 8.O leather, wide, for a couple of months now. Best boot I've had, by a mile. I wear them all the time, and have walked all day in them. I thought about putting zippers between the laces, like we did in the Air Force, but have not done that yet. I got mine through www.copquest.com and they had free shipping. Try them on at Academy sports to get the right size. Cost --- $105.49 total.
