Wish I had gotten boots with armor for my foot. I paid about $200 for some mid-shin HD boots that are great for keeping your feet cool and avoiding burns, abrasions, and slips, but had no armor for the sides of my feet. I broke my 5th metatarsal when my leg got trapped between my handlebars and the gas tank/engine. I don’t know if better boots would have prevented that break, but I do know that the boots I was wearing, which have mesh sides for breathability, had zero chance of protecting my feet from blunt force trauma. EDIT: Corrected spelling error from “brake” to “break”.
