When I compare myself to many of you on this forum, I know I've ridden far fewer miles on my NT--about 9000 miles this past year. The boot that I wear is an REI gortex hiking boot, over the ankle. This boot gives me plenty of support and is waterproof (at least on the inside, the outside can get soaked). It also gives me fair 'traction' when I'm backing the bike out of the garage or into a parking spot. It's also fairly comfortable when I get off the bike and walk around. Yet, most of the pictures of folks I see are wearing boots dedicated to being on a motorcycle--sidis, Joe Rockets, etc. What are the advantages of having a dedicated motorcycle boot and do you feel you can walk around easily once you're off the bike?
