c) Ex-East German Police jackboots if it's cold.
Big advantage of C on a very long trip is that they can be re-soled and the zips are designed to be repaired by a traditional cobbler.

Nien, Nien und Nien! Dese boot ist fir ze 'Bay em Vee' motorader..!! Zey are for ze VORLD DOMINATION.... mu-u-uaaarh!
Sorry! couldn't help it!! I'm chuckling away here like a big kid! (apologies for any offence to our German friends, none meant!)
It's a tricky one as I'm off on a RTW and the MX boots make sense for safety and hobbling with a cast ain't a good thought, but I'm not too keen on wearing 'em for a whole year. As an ex squaddie, military boots are comfy but the protection and waterproofing is negligable, lot's of manoeuvres taught me that! The Oxtars sound like a good idea. I'm trying to get the best of safety, practicality, robustness and weatherproofing and it's bloody hard work!!
