I have some good hunting boots I use..I messed my ankle up on a dirt bike 3 years ago...so I wear boots of some sort when I ride. I do have some Fox Motorcross boots, I like them but they are stiff. It is hard to change gears with them on. I have a buddy who used to race in Motorcross, he said fill the boots up with water and walk around in them a few hours and they will break in so I can move my toes to shift....I have not tried the water thing yet..Back to the hunting boots...I have a pair of hunting/hiking boots they have a really stiff ankle so it will protect you. I have Irish Setter hunting boots and Vasque hiking boots...I paid 120 for the Irish Setters and 185 for the Vasque...worth every penny...I hope this helps...
