For my first pair of true motorcycle boots in April I bought a pair of the
SIDI FAST RAIN BOOTS. Very nice protection but not full height and waterproof. Require serious breaking-in but they are much better now. I'd prefer them to be a little wider, though.
Before I used non-safety toe chukkas (Rockport) or Merrell hiking boots. I've only been riding since January last year so my contribution is really worth $0.02, thus YMMV.
Edited to add: Ride4Now, your new boots look badazz!
