I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort and features of these Dainese Stivale Longbow boots from when I first tried them on. So stylish (typically Italian), despite the low price, too! They work so well on the several long tours I have done with them, and they're so comfortable too when knocking around on my commutes and shopping trips. On a few cases of riding in moderate and heavy rain, they have kept my pinkies dry for at least an hour - without being lined with Goretex or similar! They're holding up well - about 50,000 riding km already. Definately buying the Stivales again!
