    Good year round boot recommendation?

    My current Setup boots are starting to look pretty ragged after a few years worth of use. I'm looking for boots than can do the following:

    - Be worn in all seasons, with an edge toward the warmer of the three seasons
    - Waterproof would be nice, but not critical
    - Easy(ish) to get on and off. I'd like to not deal with liners, lots of buckles, etc
    - Full height boot, no sneakery stuff
    - Not absurdly expensive

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    Edit:
    These seem decent: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...X-5-Boots.aspx

    Timberland Pitboss Pro. NOT your typical Tim's made for construction workers to stand in all day and very comfortable. Ive been riding in them for years. Try them on at Sears, then if you like them order them on line through Amazon should be right around $69. There like $100-$120 at Sears.

    I was hoping for a more motorcycle oriented design. Those do look promising as a winter boot though!

    There are a few styles of Sidi boots in that price range:
    Fusion - $200
    Fusion Rain - $225
    Cobra - $250

    We have the Fusion Rain and the Cobra in stock at the moment.

    I've been using tcx x-cube waterproof boots. They are great for 3 seasons, and when i ride in january and february i just use my ski socks and am completely comfortable. They're around $110-$130.

    I'd stay away from those a* because of notorious zipper blowouts.

    I also wear Timberland Pro boots. Mine are slip ons; I loath laces. They call them Wellingtons. Got them for like $70. ... But then I get a discount. Can't remember what the street price is. Can't be over $125-ish.

    I also have the Pitboss Pros. Great boots, I was working 13 hours a day in them. My got sore but for more regular lengths of time they're great. Don't think there's anything out there that will keep you feet from getting sore when you work 13 hours a day. Also they def seem like they'll give better ankle support than my shitty Bilt race style boots.

    I gave away a pair of these last year...they are awesome. Not sure if Seacoast sells these or what they cost...but, these are just what the doctor ordered!

    Re: Good year round boot recommendation?

    I'm also looking for a set of cheap motorcycle boots. I've been putting it off as they all seem to be so expensive(200-500$). I'd be more interested in something in the 100$ range that is easy to put on and take off and also uses zippers straps or velcro as opposed to laces. But I like the look of racing style boots better than work boots. lots of good suggestions so far.

    anyone know if Joe Rocket makes good boots? http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street...cle_boots.html
