 I'd like to buy a pair of waterproof riding boots when riding season is
a bit closer. Any recommendations of a brand and model that is really
waterproof? I read an old test where the only one that was truly
waterproof was the Sidi GT Sympatex. But being "frugal", I'd rather keep
wearing my Beiffe boots w/Treds overboots than spend nearly $300. Or buy
the Gore-tex socks from REI the test mentioned. Looking for something
that is more in the $150 range. Thanks!

Personally I use the Magnum Storm Duty Boots. They are not motorcycle
specific boots so they will cost a lot less (around $100). They are
waterproof and breathe fairly well. They are lace-up so it can take a
little bit to get them on and off.
