I Need BIG boots, size 15/50.  It looks like Set-UP is discontinuing their big boots.  I found these:  http://www.helimot.com/catalog/index.shtml
Spendy but I'm tired of the brown Red Wings and want a good waterproof boot.

Anyone ever wear these?

I've been wearing the same pair of Frey-Dayona Ladystar GTX boots for about 6 years (~60,000+ miles).  They're still very comfortable on and off the bike, and are still waterproof when I treat them to NikWaxing once a season.  I wear them both on- and off-road for dualsporting as well as for long distance streetbike touring, and have never had a single complaint or problem.  Well worth the money, IMO.   Thumbsup

This won't be much help but I wear Daytona Security boots, great for on the track but not so good for walking around for long peroids.

hola Paul

I bought a pair of Frey Daytona's from Helimot about 6 months ago - probably have 2500 miles on them...
Very comfortable, although I cannot compare them to other motorcycle boots since my previous boots were old (comfy) cowboy boots.  Spendy yes, but the quality is apparent and Helimot swears you can resole them if necessary which brings the cost down over time.  Haven't ridden them in the wet yet, so I can't vouch for waterproofiness, but the goretex does not get sweaty/steamy.  BTW, I tried LOTS of boots on to find a pair that fit me, and I would have been happy with a cheaper pair if they had.

Good luck
