Nice boots. Suitable for the office, sturdy for the ride

So, PITA to wear riding boots to work, then change. Also sucky to wear office suitable shoes (polo/kahki level) while riding. Been looking for quite a while, virtually impossible to find stuff that does not scream "I rode my motorcycle to work today".

I spotted the Alpinestars Oscar Monty boots, but a bit too rough, and a bit too pricey at $260.

about $180, and man, these things are nice. wish they sold them in brown too. Feel very good so far. CE rated.

Sort of looks like what the Amish men wear.

The top ones for sure. Very much a classic work boot look. Classic enough that you could pull it in a casual office environment. Not for days when you are meeting Captains and such, but CDRs, yeah, that would work. The bottom one, you could pair those with a suit.
