Default Short question about boots

I was looking into getting some actual riding boots to satisfy the Navy's rools on over the ankle footwear. I want something that doesn't look too "race" oriented like my Oxtars, and easy to put on and walk around in. But mostly, I just want something that looks good and is easy to put on.

I saw the Alpinestars Tech-2 half-boots, and those look pretty cool. I've been wondering for awhile how well dirt riding boots would work for street riding. I assume they're pretty stiff, but would they wear in after awhile?

These were my commuters however I've started riding more in my oxtars lately, but these are on for when I have to walk around alot or if it is raining since they are waterproof. Decent protection and they are comfortable.

i liked the sidi champion airs they're comfortable and look understated.

i also liked the dainese scout/akira boot/shoe, though they're not the most protective looking shoe, they're comfy and look like the pumas i'm prone to wearing. probably save your ankle in a lowside, once, before needing to be tossed.

these look ok. i had a pair of setup vision boots and they weren't bad. they weren't top notch boots, but they did their job in a lowside and they eventually got to be very comfy.
