I've always preferred the extra protection afforded by what we call ADV boots. Those you have are not the most radical design but seem to have all the features you'd want. The boots Guth depicts are just about right for an all-round touring and everyday boot. The high shin guard is a most excellent thing; I do prefer a little thicker sole, but on my GS I have the caged footpegs with "teeth" so on the CB's rubber pegs, that's not really necessary.
I have a way serious pair I got in 2000, BMW brand, I believe they were made by SIDI. Very tall shin guard, very thick soles and ankle protectors on both inside/outside. I don't really trust those little plastic fasteners so I had my cobbler put on buckle fasteners. Hardly wear them any more, though, I have some older SIDI ADV/crossover boots that serve well.
Generally the Sedici boots are pretty good, I have two pairs of their race boot which are holding up very well. The fit of the Sedici is very good for my foot, better even than Alpinestars. As far as quality I don't think you need be concerned. Good choice there. If nothing else they look neat.
