REV'IT! Rival H2O Boots question

Has anyone used the Rev'it Rival boot? I am looking for a boot that offers some decent protection but can be worn under jeans without looking like I am on my way to the track.  They look pretty decent.  I am open to other suggestions. 

Thanks for your help,

Jim

Rev'it stuff is usually serious quality and smart designs.

These boots are probably no exception.

Waterproof boots are going to be warm and don't breathe very well.
If you're going to wear them for hours, warm weather, off the bike - they might start smelling quickly.....

Thanks, that is good to know.  Probably not a good choice then.  A lot of the waterproof boots look a little more like normal shoes (at least the part you would see with jeans on) but I don't see that look in regular riding boots.  I think it is the toe sliders.  When you have toe sliders on your shoes and you are wearing them anywhere but on the bike they stand out like a sore thumb.  I guess my quest for new boots continues.

Thanks again,

Jim

Looks pretty good.  Thanks.  I think I am going to give that one a shot.
