I got a pair of these from when I worked for Australia Post http://rossiboots.com.au/catalogue/c...asp?prodID=151
They're pretty comfy to walk around it (one guy wore them for a 3 hour walking round) and look just like smart casual shoes (same guy wore them out on Saturday night to fancy Melbourne casinos and such, maybe he had no other shoes?). As they are proper motorbike boots they offer pretty good protection. I don't know where you can get them here but you could just got for a wee holiday to Australia and while you're there get a job at Australia Post and get them for free.

I use these Oliver boots -33-650 Mid cut zip sided lace up boot BLK - most comfortable boots I have worn for a long time nice and light no problem wearing them all day and doing a lot of walking and standing,
I wear them with a good pair a uniform pants and they look tidy.
They have a zip up the side for quick release but I never use it.
Best part waterproof on the bike and warm went to Napier and back in a day 2 weeks ago rained there and back and no wet feet I keep them well polished so they stay waterproof.
$199 dollars or cheaper if your company has an account at NZ safety in Petone.

I use these as my daily footwear. Fully waterproof, polish up nicely, very comfortable for walking in doing daily stuff.

I've had mine for 3 years now and the soles are starting to wear out. 3 years of constant daily abuse (crashed in them once to) and they have taken everything I have thrown at them.

Very good boots and I will be purchasing them again at the end of the year when I suspect mine will give up the ghost.

I have spent my entire working career in work boots and well some are dogs and some are slippers. These are my two fav:

I am a great fan of the Blue Steel brand of work boots. Even their tall shit kickers are very comfortable to wear all day.

At work nowdays I wear Courtney brand boots, these are my favourite by far and the most comfortable and hard wearing boots I have ever owned, but they are a bit pricy here. http://www.courteneyboot.com

I've been alternating between my DM Industrial boots and my regular bike boots + a pair of shoes.

The DM Industrials are great, but were one of the final sets made in the UK before productions switched to Asia. I don't know how much quality has suffered in the transition, but the specific model I have no longer exists. I think I'm going to try a pair when I have the time as mine are finally beginning to show some serious wear...

The UK site and the US/World site show different boots, so both are worth looking at.
