Had a pair of Rossi P134 road motorcycle boot for about a long time , streched them once and reglued them once also.
They eventually got too small and i found another pair on the shelf of a cash converters brand new 100 bucks off the new price still in the box. And the size i needed  :thumb

Just recently bought a pair of Falco boots with their version of Gore-tex. The last time it rained heavy I my feet stayed warm and dry.

I bought a pair of Forma Poker touring boots from the motorcycle-boot-store on Ebay.
Customer service was terrific and advice re sizes was spot-on and if the size was an issue they advised they would send out the correct size before I had returned the originals (I was leaving for Ulysses AGM 2 days after I received the boots).
Sizing was correct and they are the most comfy shoes I have.
I actually purchased the mystery boot ($99, site specific) after speaking to the seller and received boots worth twice as much.

I too have recently picked up a pair of AXO GT WP's, after finally parting with my 6+yr old Falco's. The AXO's are quite comfortable, with the usual 1 or 2 rides to break them in to the degre where I don't miss the odd gear change.  :)

Still have my guvvy issue Rossi's, comfy and long lasting.
The sole is starting to wear out on the toe from touching the tarmac occasionally.

I took a liking to Shiney's Tactical boots so I bought a pair and had them sent out from the States. They took a few weeks to arrive but they were worth waiting for :thumbsup I'm really impressed with the quality and they're very comfortable.

Haven't had the opportunity to try them on the bike as yet, it's been too cold lately to even consider riding :eek......must be getting old I guess!!

Taking the advice of Couch and Shiney :thumbs I ordered a pair of 511 Tac boots from the USA, about a week ago.
Being vertically challenged I need to increase the leg length and wanted a waterproof boot.
Received them today,felt like putting on and old pair of slippers. talk about comfortable.'
So if any one is interested I have posted a pair of Alpinestars S-MX5 waterproof boots for sale.
Thanks to Couch and Shiney for the heads up. :-++
