    I really my Oxtar Infinity's. Something between a touring and an off road boot, and nicely waterproof. I find them both warm and comfortable.

    +1 on the oxtars. They're nice.

    Had a pair of Daytonas before, still waterproof after 4 years of being my main footwear, but they had turned into comfy socks by then, not much protection.

    I don't recommend those boots. Those are comfortable but the “waterproof” means they let water in and don’t let out. After riding couple hours in rain they get wet and will dry for ages. I‘ve used them one season – the tongue is made of unknowns animal skin and will crack after a while and also one of the stitching in one boot is broken.

    Ride with your trousers over your boots otherwise the rain is bound to get in.

    That is what I do. I say if you are riding hours in rain they will get wet, especially when the tongue is cracked.
