Correct answer
Protect feet and ankles without impeding control operation.
They should protect feet and ankles, fit securely and allow the controls to be operated without difficulty. Use purpose-designed motorcycle boots with suitable resistance and protection. A pronounced heel or deep tread does not guarantee better protection and must not impede control; reinforcement limited to the right foot is not sufficient either.
