I just wear my steel toed tennis shoes. Good solid shoes that should keep my feet from getting tore up if i do happen to go down. Sketchers from walmart for about $35 i think it was.

Cyclegear has a lot of stuff to look at. Maybe find something you like there then search ebay for a good price on it?

My wife (God love her) found a pair of 10EE leather boots at an auction for $25. New in box, zipper on the side, over the ankle, and a good sole.  Not stiff at all, so shifting is a breeze. The only fly in the ointment is me having to adjust the shift level a bit to compensate for the height of the boot. I would occasionally miss an upshift by not letting the lever reset itself.

I guess she's supporting my riding habit after all.  Maybe she likes the grin on my face after I've gone for a ride. I'm sure she worries a bit about all the crazies on the road: so do I.

If you are talking just 'waterproof'-ness, for touring, I went old-fashioned, with a pair of rubber galoshes, for around $20 ($30?).  They cover my shoes to mid-calf, when it's raining, but other than that, my feet can breathe when I'm not wearing them.  They have decent tread on the bottom, so I can put my feet down, at a stop, with confidence.  I've had a couple of chances to wear them on tour, and they performed quite well.  If you want an all-around boot, then go with something made of Gore-Tex, to achieve waterproof-ness, while still being able to breathe, and get rid of perspiration.  Cheers!

  I appreciate every-one's input and support,
   Rib's I have Wally-World mid high steal toe sneakers for work there great on the bike ,
  But will get beat up wearing every-day for both(riding/work) Rain or not
   If I know it's A good chance for storm/heavy rain,This is what these boots are for.

    Gor-Tex was what made most sense to Good use,Also sale's guy said these are Rain Proof not repellent or resistance(meaning need treatment)

Royal Distributing, a motorcycle/snowmobile/atv store here in Canada has great
"red tag" sales on clothes.  Bought my joe rocket all black boots for $49, my textile armoured jacket for $80 and my armoured textile pants for $80.

Great deals on gear.  Don't know if they ship to the US.
