I have Sidi Discovery Adventure boots. They are pretty good and waterproof, to a point, well to the top of the boot. Recently I've bought a pair of older style Sidi MX boots of Richard. I'll be wearing those on the CCA. They offer more protection than the Discos, but I can still walk in them. Just the sort of compromise I was looking for.It really depends what you want from the boot. There are lots of boots out there as you well know, and it's pretty much a sliding scale from slippers to a cast like contraption. You'll have to pick your own sweet spot. Just keep in mind that leg injuries are the most common type of injury in motorcycling. While a good boot will not prevent a broken leg, it will certainly reduce the extent of an injury.
