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. ;)   
98% of north americans that hit the ditch say "oh shit", the other 2% are from saskatchewan and say "hold my beer and watch this"

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.

When I bought mine, the guy told me he has pins in his ankle from not wearing them, so I stick to it now.  I used to jsut wear my cowboy boots...no protection there.

Picked up some 50/50's from the stealership two days ago. I wore them around the dealer they were so comfy. Still havent ridden in them yet but I walk around the house with them on to break them in, and I forget I have them on.

FOX Jersey ( or a damn t-shirt, hoodie,jacket - whatever)

Oakley Goggles (though I rarely use them unless it's dusty, I usually wear WILEY X goggle/glasses - check 'em out. They KICK ASS !)

FOX Gloves.

Jeans or shorts, or flannel lined Carhartt's if it's cold. ( really want a pair of the Thor Static pants, those are dope)
