I never had corfram boots when I was in the 82nd; too expensive. I did have a pair of spit shined Corcoran jump boots for inspections, and just regular issue combat boots for day to day.
I still have a pair of Bates oxford low quarter shoes that are at least twenty years old, and still in great shape. I liked their tactical and duty boots when I was a police officer; they were a little lighter than army issue combat boots, and they had a sneaker-like sole that was a little quieter than the standard Vibram heel and sole. They were relatively inexpensive too, compared to something like a Danner boot.
I haven't bought a pair of their boots in quite a while; I've been wearing a pair of Altama military spec combat boots for years, and have even had them resoled. I don't know what their quality is like now, though they're owned by Wolverine, a fairly reputable brand. I didn't know Bates even made a "motorcycle" boot, though to be honest, from looking at their website, their motorcycle boots don't look much different than their regular boots.
Boots are a safety compromise for me. I wear either the milspec Altamas or a pair of insulated Danners for colder weather. Better than sneakers or engineer boots, but not as good as a true motorcycle boot with ankle protection. I need a pair of boots that I can walk in, so I can get off the bike and go see stuff. I did some hiking in Arches National Park two years ago, and a stiff motorcycle boot may have been a bit much for that.
