Combat Touring Lite
I chime in with another endorsement for the sold by Aerostich/made by Sidi Combat Touring Lite boots.

I'm on my 2nd pair, after having got 5 years and 60,000 miles out of the first pair. I had the first pair re-soled once, and I also had to replace the plastic part that affixes the buckle to the leather. Aerostich sells all the replacement parts for the boot, so once you've find a good cobbler, the boots can be repaired as necessary.
They also look like "normal" boots. I can wear them at work (yes, they really are that comfortable) without looking like a Storm Trooper.
If I spent my life riding off-road, I'd consider the Combat Touring boots, but the Combat Lites have suited my needs every time.
