Fully agree, I've seen people at MX meetings come off with spiral shin fractures because the very stiff boots simply transmitted the load to the top of the boot. I wear above-ankle boots which give some support but remain flexible for walking. I also have chunky calves which makes fitting full length boots almost impossible.
