Thanks for all your replies and advice. I started looking on ebay and guess what---they had a pair of FXRG-3, and they were 13, my size. I snagged them for $50. Pretty awesome. Just wish I had them now.  Bought a can of spray waterproofing and sprayed the whole can on the tongue where the fabric is and guess what---no change and they still leak. Oh well.

I've been using Sidi On Road Gore Tex boots for a few years and they do not leak at all even in the heaviest rain.  At $360. to $380 a pair they aren't the cheapest boot out there but are well worth the money if you value dry feet and a comfortable boot.

Well, the FXRG leak too.  Was in a 3hr, car stopping, rain last weekend and when I got home my socks and the inside the boot were wet.  It was warm, so not a big problem, just disappointed.  May have to try the Sidi's.

I got my first pair of Thorogood Boots last March and have only been in 1 frog-strangler, they didn't leak. Bought them because of USA manufacture. BTW......them FXRG's are guaranteed, takeum back NOW.

FXRG 3's are on the HD website for $259.00. Not sure why everyone says no longer available.

I agree with Rooster on the Cruiserworks boots. Been riding with these for years - lightweight, dry and can be purchased in wide sizes.

Vendramini hand made Italian motorcycle boots.  At 320, not too bad.  The reviews are great, I'm seriously looking at these for my next pair.  Sold in the US by Biker World.

I've been wearing Bates now for a couple years and love them. Very light weight and totally waterproof.

Those look nice. Even the top looks like it might have enough room for my stumpy legs. Having large calves I have trouble fitting in that area. Love the zippers.
