Boots with great ankle support
Hi all,
I managed to rupture the Achilles' tendon on my gear foot last week. On foot, sober, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the city. Don't ask, but it has to do with behaving like the 12 year old that lives inside my head... No more riding this year (obviously), and I'm looking at a six months recovery. To lessen the mental trauma, I've started planning for next year.
I really want to be sure that I'm not stressing my Achilles' tendon too hard, too soon. So I'm looking for boots that are stiff enough to take away load from my calf muscles, and limits the flexion in my ankle.
I'm doing mostly paved roads, but I'm planning to get more onto gravel next year, so an adventure or even off road type boot is perfectly fine.
If anyone has any tips for which boots I should look into and eventually put on my Christmas list, I would be really grateful.
