It's not about wishful thinking or misunderstanding the importance/vulnerability of your ankles. I would probably prioritise boots at the top of my own personal list of protective clothing, helmet would be third behind gloves as well for me.
I'm just not convinced that all the plastic and metal of motox/enduro style boots makes any difference short of getting run over. I put the question out to see if anything had any thoughts other than the standard two lines.
Personally, I just splashed out £177 on a pair of Altberg 'Desert Riders'. They offered them as an option when I phoned up asking how durable their desert military style boots were. It's only now I've realised that they came up with them after a request for custom boots by Chris Scott! Finally off for some fun again after 4 long years, I'll let you know if I end up breaking my ankles then you'll be able to say I told you so.
