water proof boots with proper ankle protection?

Sidi Vertigo.
First pair of 'sports boots', has adjustable calf strap thingy, means my large calfs can fit in them, the prior problems with all other sports boots i tried on..

Water proof, comfy, dont squeek alot, can fit my leathers/textiles.jeans in them.
Got mines for £200, feel worth the money.

I've got rainsport blacks, and really like them, they're comfortable, have a bit of protection and seem well made.

I've ridden all through winter with no problem, but got a 'damp' foot in a severe downpour the other day. I only bought them in May.

Do you think they'd swap them if I take them back?

oxtar do some off road boots too

I have some sidi black rains. They have lasted very well for 5 years now. If I was buying new ones, I would get the vertigos above.

+1 for the Alpinestars SMX-4 WP. Not only are they comfy (can walk round town etc with no issues) they have been 100% waterproof through 2 winters of constant riding. Plus, I managed to faceplant the motorway tarmac last Feb at 70mph and flipped and rolled down the motorway, had no issues with my feet / ankles at all and the boots just needed a good polish to get rid of the scuff marks.

In fact, it was the only bit of kit I still have and use from that crash and they are still brill.
