Yep Oxtar...now TCX Have an old pair of Matrix and last summer bought the Airtech model that is nirvana for the air flow and waterproof combination. Besty touring boot I have ever worn! How they provide so much air flow yet are totally water proof boggle my simple mind |

+100 on the Matrix and the AirTech. I've got a pair of each. The Matrix have a hole worn through the shift lever pad but they are still totally waterproof. The AirTechs are fantastically comfortable on and off the bike. I've ridden for hours in the rain with both pairs and never had so much as a drop of water get in. |

I have had the Sidi On-Roads for about 2 years and love them. I have *never* had the velcro coma apart.
Mine either, although I have the older style with the four straps and Sympatex liner.
Four years, 65K, left sole is just now getting to the bottom of the lugs due to Uly mount/dismount pivoting. Virtually waterproof, although once in a torrential downpour for hours my socks did get a little damp.
However, that day NONE of my waterproof gear stayed that way, so the dampness in my boots could have been runoff... Sidi On Roads very worth the $$$. |

+1 on the Aerostitch Combat Lites. Takes time to break in. After that, you can walk in them. I wouldn't want to walk in a truly off road boot. They're not advertised as waterproof, but they are more waterproof than others touted as such. |

Aerostich Combat Touring Boots. $$$ Tough comfortable, re-solable.
I would never own another boot.
