I've got a pair of W2 Tour-11s. They're now my main boots. Very comfortable. Only problem is that as wet-weather boots you're going to end up with stinky feet if you're in them for more than a couple of hours.

Some are worse than others, the Teknics have a faint whiff of training shoe after an hours wear whilst the Sidi Rains honk like the contents of a dead cat's bladder.
A ladies stocking filled with (not ironically) cat litter pellets and stuffed in the boot every night does help this problem. (but not Sidi Rains alas)

I have a pair of ALDI motorcycle boots - cost £29.99 I think and they are 18 months old and have NEVER leaked a single drop
Quite impressive really as I wear them most of the time on the bike and they are really comfortable

Another vote here for TCX Oxtars. Very comfy and bone dry, even in the bath!! :b

Might pop down to Aldi next time they have a M/C sale,,,,,,
Re: Waterproof boots, anybody got any?! - Strifae - 25-04-12
Unfortunately you literally just missed the M/C sale - it may be worth popping down your local one to see if have any left in the relevant section

My black Sidi goretex were great for the first year, but after that they started leaking around the toes.
Re: Waterproof boots, anybody got any?! - AL - 26-04-12
I have Sidi B2 Gore-Tex boots. Never had any problems yet
Re: Waterproof boots, anybody got any?! - Tefer - 26-04-12
My Sidi's were good leaked at toes too after a while, you don't get a lot of sole for your money, i am sometimes off the bike walking about.

possibly not relevant anymore, but check out Halvarsson winter boots. I have a pair, done 35k in them, never let in one bit of water, steel plate in the foot, great shin armour.
even ridden through floods with my feet underwater for a few hundred metres, and fine. snow storms - fine.
in fact, anything by halvarsson is a win in my book.

If you like the boots you have look on Ebay for ex army Goretex boot liners- for a few quid they made my tourers water resistant- at least my feet were dry

I've got Oxtar boots - had them since 2003 - never had a drop of water get through, and they've been in some pretty crap weather for a good few hours, brilliant in the snow too
good grip and comfy.Think they are less than £100 too.
