      Woodland is a good option. Lee Cooper have some good ones as well. Lastly you can also consider safety shoes if you can get your hands on them
      Cheerio!

                I had the figo riding boots ... its comfortable and protection wise also they are good also water proof. Its looks good also . It comes around 7k. I used it for few rides. In one of the long ride to Kudremukh the toe protector came off on one side out of the screw with which it is attached to the boot. I tried unscrewing it and re-doing the stuff but wasnt sucessfull. The screw was jammed inside and applying more force would have resulted tampering the boot. So i replced it with alphinestart smx 6. I am yet to go on a ride with smx 6.
                Hope this helps.

                Adding a few pics of the same
                In the first pic, the right boot you can see the toe protector came off from one side ..

                        I would say Cramster Tundra! Best VFM Winter glove.

                          Try TBG Street. But not cheap. Best regular option is Army boots or basketball sneakers.
                          Office formals tend to get torn by the toe type gear shifter.

                            thinking on the same lines.. I was planning to get a cover or something for the gear shifter.. then I started using the army boots since yesterday.. works more than enough.. I"ll clean it up today and am using my cramsters daily to office instead of them gathering dust..

                                Update: TBG ADV Breed is still out of stock.

                                Let's Gear Up! said they will be back in stock around the end of November, but when I enquired yesterday, they said it will be atleast another couple of weeks before the ADV Breed is back in stock. If anyone is waiting for the jacket (me included), I think it will be some time before we can get our hands on one. I sincerely hope it's worth the wait.
