Since you are requesting opinions ......
My touring and my sport riding boots are both motorcycle specific leather calf high boots with ankle and shin protection. My casual riding boots are over the ankle leather " work style" lace up the front boots. The former two I usually wear with armored motorcycle specific riding pants, the latter I wear with blue jeans. Sometimes I just don't feeling like wearing all the gear.
At 63 with 47 years of " legal" street riding experience, I'm fully aware that the more protective gear you are wearing the better off you are. I choose what clothes I put on in the morning.
If you are asking if you'd be better off with motorcycle specific boots, I think you know the answer to that question. If you're asking if it would be ok to wear the Wellingtons while riding? Sure, if that's what you choose to do knowing full well the risks.
