I use a pair of Dainese boots stiled after old army boots from the 70s and 80s, bought them 6 years ago. The soles were shit and wore through so I had them replaced with Vibram soles 4 years ago for 15 Euros at my local shoe guy, and since then they've been better than new, even though they are more like normal boots than motorcycle stiff boots. I take them there occasionally after a proper long trip and they come back out looking like new for next to nothing.
I am going to buy waterproof boots for winter, because I hate to ruin them with rain, but my current ones just fit me.
