icon- tarmac boots are good , not too hich or too low,,,be sure to know your size (they run about 1/2 size small) when ordering and do not forget to get a long shoe horn (just eases getting them on),,,you will like them
when I took msf class my instructor spoke of hitting a bull when riding home one night night.He said he could have gone home un injured but for his foot getting badly scraped while sliding on pavement.Spent four days in hospital getting skin grafts. He was waring sneakers (canvas shoes).
Needles to say , I wear boots!
