The pix above is what leather cowboy boots will get ya, I was wearing Harley-Davidson riding boots when i hi-sided my Fatboy back in 2001, The boots where actually steel toed but were made laike a pair of slip-on cowboy boots, my ankle caught a sign post while sliding by and busted my ankle.
I truely believe, that if i had on a snug pair of riding boots that were well padded, i would have walked away with a broken wrist, instead of being carried away with a busted ankle and a broken wrist...
I actually thought the boots were a good pair of riding boots, until the accident and then i realized i could have definitely had better, but in '01 good protection that didn't look like an all out race boot or an mx boot was impossible to find. But we don't have that problem now, so there is really no excuse to not protect yourself..
And please bg, get rid of those shower shoes and get you some good boots...
