I owned Daytona GTX boots some years ago ... not impressed. The boots were too soft, lacked protection everywhere. OK for street and great comfort, but way inadequate protection.
This was over 10 years ago, maybe they are better now?
I've owned many different boots, street, MotoCross, Dual sport. Think about what sort of riding you're doing and on what sort of roads? And ... at what pace?
My current favorites are Forma Adventure, TCX (various ADV based ones) Decent protection (but won't equal SIDI Crossfires) Both these brands very practical for travel and not too expensive.
You need a boot you can walk around in and boots that are easy to get IN and OUT of. Waterproof is nice but once your boots are wet inside ... take forever to dry them out ... Gore-Tex or not.
I'm sure the Alberg is great, not for sale in USA. Also, as mentioned, Alpinestar
Toucan is highly rated but expensive. Forma and TCX more reasonable priced.
