Your feet man- but just admit you don’t care about your own safety or at least your feet.

There are countless different versions of motorcycle specific protective footwear in numerous styles for many years now. Any excuse not to wear them is only that- an excuse.

I can’t condone an example to other possibly new young riders to not wear proper gear without them understanding there is no good reason. NONE.

Choice is one thing, but knowledge is another.

To be fair, I did say exactly that. I'm fully knowledgeable of the consequences and still made the choice. I could post pictures of my ankle if you'd like a better "example" for new riders, but somehow I Don't think anybody wants to see that. At a certain point in life I decided that getting rained on a few times a year and riding in the bitter cold for a few months out of the year was better than owning a car. Same goes for deciding that occasional injuries were better than changing my shoes 5 times a day. It's just a choice. It doesn't imply everybody should make it.

100% agreed. Life is continuous risk management and trade-offs, isn't it?
