I've worn a tall boot like that since day one (2003, with my SV-650). Mine are Gore-Tex Alpinestars as well, with a zipper and velcro closures.
They're obviously not as cool as a mesh low-cut ankle boot, but they don't seem to bother me too much on very hot days.
If I could own only one type of motorcycle boot, something like this would be it. (And in fact, I do only own one type of boot...never had a need to buy something else).
As you'd guess with my case, boots like this last a very long time, so I hope you're happy with them.
I think a Gore-Tex or similar membrane is a worthy investment, but if you find that they're too hot, just buy a summer boot. It'll be a good purchase for your Southern Summers.
