Ridiculous

I'm sure there's a thread already about this, but searching boots gets an outrageous amount of returns.

I'm looking for a boot/mid shoe to wear and bike around town when it gets wet and slushy. I
I'm after something that is waterproof but doesn't look like I just walked in from the bush. Insulation is cool, but no steel toes. I know Forsake exists, but I'm not crazy about the way their stuff looks.

something like these

I got these last year. At first I was hesitant, as I thought they looked a little ridiculous, but they are actually pretty cool with jeans. Probably the best investment I have made in footwear.

they hold up to how wet it is in Seattle... they are scotch guarded, but I do mink oil on all my leather shoes too. and they have burly tread that does well on snow, but can sometimes be tricky on wet slick floors. get them, you'll be stoked.

someone downvoted some of the serious replies, super lame :/
thanks to everyone that has replied so far, some really cool stuff I hadn't previously heard of. Those vans are especially dope.

willifastTake a look at Pajar

Just saw these downtown, they look way better in person than on their website, I will deff be trying on a pair this weekend.

The vans winter collection like posted above are the best. They hold up great very waterproof. I usually treat them with a waterproof spray ever couple weeks just to be safe. Traction is great the bottoms are a bunch of little stud things. It's the opposite of normal vans bottoms. They can also be found for pretty cheap compared to what a pair of boots would cost.

I just got something similar at famous footwear for $40 today. Been wanting something plain colored for casual wear since my only other non work shoes are 2 pairs of KD 6's (blue crabs and DC's for anyone who cares) and a pair or purple flyknit chukkas. Waterproof leather is a plus, hope they live up to my expectations

Georgia Romeo boots, comfortable as hell, great traction, they have a low, mid and high version. waterproof, an best part is that there slip Ons And go with literally everything.
Just get a half size smaller than you need because they will stretch out.

Damn, I may need to grab a pair, do you know their cost? I could look it up but why when I can ask you. But they're probably too much for my broke ass anyways:/

Hey OP! Given you'll have these for a while I seriously encourage you to find a pair of boots that are number 1 super comfortable, this is by far the most important. Then maybe style or looks if you even care at all. After buying these non-waterproof comfortable boots buy some CREP PROTECT and spray them down. This is going to sound like an ad but my go does this stuff work well, google some vids or go to their website http://www.crepprotect.com.
