Daytona..Daytona. I have a narrow foot and I can't believe how good these boots fit. Lots of styles and range of costs.

Race verts and I doubt I will get anything different. These boots are awesome and worth every penny. My low side proved that to me.
Sidi Vertebra... I got a great closeout deal on them. 
Alpine Star SMX+ I love 'em.
Sidi Vertebra II. Since they're my only boots, I wear them on the street too. I'd like to get the Sidi women's street boots but I don't think I can get them in my size. For some reason, specialty shoe manufacturers like this think that all women have small feet. I'm on that borderline because I wear a women's size 9. Most of the time I can get away with men's boots/shoes but that tiny fraction of increased width in the men's shoes makes the fit a bit loose. Thick socks and sole inserts help.
I have Alpine Stars tech series and mens Teknic boots. Both boots are very comfy but the Teknic are best for tucking my leathers in. Being only 5'4 though i have to have both boot soles made bigger by adding 1/4 inch of rubber to them. Least i can touch the floor now!!
Alpine Stars FS GP. They fit well, have ventilation and have ankle and shin guards inside. I can tuck in leathers or zip over. Either way.
I got a smoking deal on ebay ($80) so I got 'em!

This is me to a tee...
I usually prefer to ride in Frey Daytona Ladystar (now called M-Star) boots with the 1" lifted soles when I'm just hacking around town on my R-6. They're more comfortable because I'm pretty short and am really on my toes with the R-6. I can get away with the much lower Sidi's on my 999 or if I'm riding the R-6 on known terrain. They're a little bulky, but don't present a problem if you adjust the shifter a little.
They are also great winter boots. These run kind of wide, as they are really only made in the men's M-Star model now. Even if you order the LadyStar, you will get the M-Star. Available from Helimot.
For more serious riding, I like the Sidi Race Vertebra boots. They give great protection and are really comfortable. Occasional tightening and lubing with WD-40 of the numerous screws keeps them functional and not squeaking. Any of the Sidi boots are wonderful--I also like the customer service from their distributor, Motonation, a lot. I would say the less expensive B-1 model or the standard Vertebra model offer more than enough protection for all sportbike street riding. Haven't tried their cruiser-style boots, but these people just don't make any bad products.

Teknic Violator II's on the track. On the street it's just construction workboots.
Thank you to all for your responses... I like my joe rockets because I can tuck my leathers in, but they hurt my feet ... I think I am going to try to get some sidi's next....
... I think I am going to try to get some sidi's next....Sidi Vert2's here as well. I'm about to sell 'em to another chica on here (her feet are smaller than mine :laughing they'll fit her better) most likely will get another pair of Vert2's. I like them very well. May go try on some A-stars.... I'm one of those weird people that feels the need to try everything on before they buy :laughing
Sidi verts also +1
I think I will go for the smx's though next time, they fit my foot much better.

Sidi Vert II's...I love them!!! If they make the race in my size that will be my next boot...I do want to see the Ladie's A-star SMX, and try them on, I hear from a fellow lady rider here that they fit well on her feet...
Gaerne Shockwave on the track, Gaerne RX2 in the dirt, and my favorite Cruiserworks Lady Rider for cruising and everything else including dressing up - I LOVE THESE BOOTS and take them with everywhere!!
