If I were in the market for a general purpose motorcycle boot, this would be my choice:
Aerostich Combat Lite
I ride to work daily, wear a full business suit under my riding suit, thus I can't wear these kind of boots as they are too high and not compatible with my suit trousers.
I found these from Stylmartin which look fantastic and offer real protection (and water resistance): Stylmartin Oxford. These cover the ankle, but don't come up to mid calf like heavier duty boots.
Stylmartin has a bunch of different styles available. They are nice quality boots.
