Can One Boot Do It All?

I need to buy boots for riding my trials bike (I'm just playing on it rather than doing comps) and I also need boots for riding on the road, Adventure Touring style. I know there might be some compromises, but does anyone know of a boot that would do both well? I need the grippy tread and flexibility for trials, but the protection and weather resistance for road.

A friend of mine uses his Sidi Couriers for both, not too sure they are waterproof though.

I had a pair of Gaerne waterproof trials boots but I wouldn't want to wear them on the road at any sort of speed, not enough in the way of ankle protection for me.

The Alpinestars No Stop I have now would probably make good road/touring boots with their much better ankle protection although again they are not completely waterproof...

As said, I'd look at the something from the Sidi line or maybe Alpinestars tech 3?

In order of motocross orientated -> trials....

Alpinestars tech 3

Sidi Saber

Sidi Adventure

Sidi Courier

Been digging around a bit more on this and the Sidi Courier is now called the Sidi Discovery. Gaerne have something called a G Adventure and a similar, but stiffer version with a bit more plastic called the G Midland. Of course, finding a shop with stock so you can compare and try them on is next to impossible (at least it is where I live).
