I have had the Blitz boots for 18 months so far have been great in the southland winters and all seasons really, I am commuting almost everyday in them with some longer trips to christchurch etc. Looking at buying another pair to replace when they expire. For the money - top notch

I don't know what their availability or price would be like over in your neck of the woods, but there is an Australian brand called Rossi who make work boots and bike boots (for about 100 years or so). Their "Vision" boot is great, fits my annoying size 13 foot (which stops me from being able to find any Dainese/Alpinestars boots which fit, etc) and the last pair I bought cost me $220 brand new Worth a look, at least
Those Rossi Vison's look great. I use a lovely pair of pricey Gearne's (and No! not because I own a Guzzle), but prefer my old slip resistant 100 buck John Bull calf length work boots as they take thick socks, easy pull on and no slipping when manoeuvring the bikes about. The Rossi's look like they would do both, I'd be happy to have a pair, they review well. My only bitch with the Gearnes is lack a bit of sole grip that I need being challenged with duck disease and also with flat feet, they are a bit tight at the toes.
Really when comes to "budget", a good pair of boots is priceless, save a few weeks and get something decent me thinks (such as the said Vision's) and then tell use how good they are (or aren't).
