Just found these on ebay, couple of useful sizes for a gold dust winter boot. Not made anymore so hard to find.

I bought a pair 2 years ago and they let in so much water i sent them back.my lbs replaced them and the new pair are just as bad, not very warm either, they have a wire retension system which comes slack if you do any walking also, no wonder they're discontinued

I have some too - best winter boots in my opinion. Good for 3 season UK conditions. Just use a thicker woolly sock if its really cold.
The LX140 at Cycle Surgery is a completely different shoe - its for commuter use really.
Only get leaky if the water runs down your leg into the cuff - wear longs and problem solved. Wear shorts and you'll get wet(ter).
Cant explain the loose BOA - never had an issue myself.
Theyre discontinued because the material/manufacturing costs were pushing the price up to an unacceptable level - they couldnt sustain them at £140.
