I have over the years owned a number of Alpinestars boots and loved them all, but none were actually waterproof and I don't think they were ever advertised as such. I know I have seen at least one boot that claims to be waterproof, but I will have to think a while before I can remember what it is.

Alpinestars has been my choice. Not a submergable boot, but if you're just spraying yourself through puddles, they work well enough.
Only real waterproof boot I can think of is the kind they wear pouring concrete.

I don't know of a water proof boot either, but if you want a top of the line boot and are going to pay the money, look at the...
-Alpinestars Tech 8's or 10's
-Fox Forma Pro's (I think they have a new name this year though)
-Gaerne SG-10's
-And Sidi's boots (not sure of there names for models)
Those will all be over $300 and if your not racing or catching big air probably isn't nescessary, but if you just want a good boot to ride in, and for a more affordable price, you can't beat the Alpinestar's Tech 6's.

I have owned 3 pairs of AlpineStars Boots and none of them leaked. Every other pair of fox's, Hallmans(pre-THOR), Sidi, etc leaked. My current pair is a Tech-10. I just saw a waterproof dual sport boot last nite in a mag I was looking thru. i check it out tonite and let you know.

I have the Alpine star tech 6 and like others have said they arent completely water proof but you have to get pretty wet for them to leak. Those with some over the boot pants and my feet stay dry almost always. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Water proof boots are.... Sidi Discovery. They are $250.00 at motonation. Their website wont let me put a link in.
When I ride in wet conditions I will duct tape the top of my boot to my pants with about 3-4 times around. Before I had Alpine stars. I used to put my socks on and then put my foot in a tall kitchen garbage bag. Put the boots on and tape the top.
