I have a pair of Teknic <ahem> Violator boots. Very comfy to walk in and easily accomodate my chubby overdeveloped calf muscles, they are warm, totally water proof and look cool.
I wouldn't reccomend them though, after three years the left one started to fall apart and what I thought was an all over leather upper turned out to be a patchwork of leather, cordora and a plasticky material glued and stitched together. No good at all.
I had a pair of Sidi Rains a few years ago and just like a mate of mine found that they stink very badly after a very short time, mine lived on the back doorstep until I put them on ebay.
If you can live with the dire styling then Altberg Clubmans are the ones, I had mine well over 10 years and no leaks.
