No flip flops.

Broken ankle? Boots prevent that?  Bullshit. You could break an ankle from anything. Boots just interfere with my riding comfort.

I can see wearing boots while your racing, but for anything else, it's just overkill in my opinion.

Hitting the dunes or hitting the trails, I'm most comfortable in a pair of old tennis shoes.

I agree, don't ride hard enough to get boots. Unless it is muddy, then I wear waterproof work boots.

I never wore boots, like brian, I was on old worn out tennis shoes.. even @ both silver lake rallies last year. only one that didn't have some form of boot :lol:

Since I started racing this summer I invested in a pair though.

Most places here won't let you race unless you do have a boot.

If I was racing, I would definitely want a boot, even though I have trouble grabbing gears wearing them.

Yeah, I had to move my shifter up so I could get the boots under. It took a solid day of riding to get used to it. but like all things, once you get it down, you're good to go. :thumbs:

when you jump your bike and land, without proper support under your feet, the muscles in your feet will hyper extend as your foot bends over your foot peg from the force of the landing.  not wearing proper footwear is and easy way to have sore feet and turn your toes purple. ;)

i tore my tendons and ligaments by landing sideways on a jump and trying to hold on. My right foot and leg came off the peg and went under the tire adn back to the brake while i was still on the quad. Evlls1 got a close up view of it. he was right behind me.
I got a pair of Alpinestar tech6s and wont ride with out them.

Just added to the repertoire: Fox Comp 5 Offroad riding boots. Early experiences are pretty good so far. They absorb all the shock from jumping-very nice. No more sore arches. :thumbs: And, pretty comfortable.

I will be adjusting the shifter up a couple notches, though. Had a few accidental upshifts, the boots are pretty thick.

rr, the first senetence was referring to my imaginary meth dealing business. :rofl: Last sentence is because I am used to riding in tennis shoes or rubber boots. When I would jump, they would collapse my arches. But, they are huge in the toe and won't quit fit under my shifter. Boots are pretty rigid and absorb the shock when I land, instead of my feet taking the punishment. :thumbs:
