Default Recomend some boots (not race boots)

Hi All

Can anyone recommend a good pair of winter or all season (as long as they are waterproof and warm) boots.
Just discovered a hole in the side of one of one of my boots so feet are getting a tad wet and cold.
Not looking for any sort of race boot more a touring style.
Don't want to spend a fortune but around the £100 to £150 mark.

I wear my A* SMX-4 waterproof boots year round. Warm enough with decent socks, water proof so far (18K miles) and comfy for long days on the bike. They are top end of your price range but I'm sure you could get a deal somewhere.

Downside is they are quite a race boot style and you stated you don't want race boots.

Sidi Canyons are what I went for - got them just before AR08, used them almost daily - even wore them on the plane to and from NZ.....

Comfortable and so far waterproof.

Even within your price-range

I would seriously recommend the SMX4WP also. As per Luckypants I have worn them nearly everyday. I had a major off in them and they stood up to the test very vey well. I don't think they are that "racey"......I have a pair of the SMX4 Plus race boots also for summer (if we ever get one) riding......now they are "racey".

Make sure you look at the waterproof ones, not the standard SMX-4. This is the ones I have http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/shop/p...oducts_id/3863
