Just looking to see if anyone has bought these boots or has any comment on them.  Looking to maybe order a pair.

Now that I have started the search, I think the Alpinestars (http://www.alpinestars.com/Web_Goretex_Boot/pd/np/113/p/233507.html) are a better choice.

I have a pair of Leather Alpinestars Effex Gore-Tex boots similar to those you pictured.  They're not bad, and fairly comfy.  I need to take better care of mine.  The only problem is that they get hot.  If you're not moving very fast, or you're having to do stop and go, or just stop on the highway, they wont have much mercy on your feet.  Other than that, they are quite easy to wear.  The other problem I have with mine is that the zippered enclosure is on the inside, and sometimes it catches on my Kickstand or shifter at the lower part of the boot.  These should be better as they have the zippers on the outside.

I wear a pair of Vega boots by Nitro Racing, but a different style. Very light and my feet stay fairly cool.

Bought the Alpinestars on the weekend, mainly for highway rainy days

I made the mistake of buying these. In a word....crap.
They are not water proof. They are hot and tend to hold foot odor no matter how much foot powder you use. After only 7000km the sole is separating from the boot. I am looking for something more high end now.
