Some of you folks make it like the MX boots will make you invincible to leg/foot injuries... If you crash right you are going to break your leg no matter what boot you wear, many who were riding in MX boots have broken bones to prove that... It took us hours to get a guy out who went off the road on one of my rides and you guessed it, he was wearing MX boots... In fact when we got him out to where we could meet the ambulance at dark he pleaded with the medics not to cut off his boots {compound fracture} as they were brand new.. The WR 250 MotoMavericks trip ended in {I think it was Mongolia} in 2016 from a broken leg, while wearing MX boots, they returned to finish the trip in 2017 and it ended again with another broken leg, you guessed it, while wearing MX boots...

That been said, MX boots do offer the stiffest platform that can absorb direct hits better than a softer boot... They also limit rotation which could be good in most cases but could also move a twisting injury further up the leg ..

I would wear a lugged sole MX boot if all I did was stay on the bike, but like my bike, I like to have foot wear that excels in a multi purpose role... I linked a video earlier in this thread that represents why I choose a mountaineering style hiking boot over an single purpose boots.. If an MX boot fits your adventure requirements then go for it, some people do that and then wear flip flops for their walking shoes..
