After much looking at Docs, Milwaukee's, Matterhorn, and various military surplus I ended up with a pair of Ft. Lewis boots from Danner. About the only thing that could improve them for me is if they were strapped like tank boots- whch is what I used to wear. They fit all my requirements: Not boy-racer styling (can wear them when not riding too, just as gtood hiking boots), 11" tall for trouser blousing, /no/ steel toe, no safety toe (I like the tactile response of feeling my shifter), not-insulate, but, are water proof (goretex inner boot).
So far I'm super happy with them. And I **** better well for $250+
