My favourite all round boots are Gaerne Balance Boots (oiled brown). I also have some short Alpinestars but I prefer the taller boot generally, for more protection.
They are very comfortable all round boots. Have used them off road, toured and used for general riding about. Really good to walk around in once you arrive somewhere and also, look good under jeans if you don't take any evening shoes with you.
Sizes are small so get one size bigger unless you go somewhere to try them on.
I liked them so much, that after having them for 2 years, I bought another pair, for when these wear out, just in case they stop making them.
