Anything that covers the ankle is appropriate for MSF, I think I wore an old pair of Doc Martens. I recently bought a pair of steel toes at Wal-mart for $26 and they are lightweight, and comfortable enough. It's not like wearing sneakers, but I would wear them all day and my feet never hurt. They are the ones that say "Swat" on them, I forget the brand.

gnrunner, you didn't state where you are located, but, here in Virginia it is also as Scrubdog stated. You just need a shoe that covers the ankle. I had a pair of timberland "hiking boots" that fit the bill for me. They even have a bit of mesh in the side ventilating them. I still where them when it's warm out. Although I do also have a full lether, mid-calf pair of boots now that I use primarily for cold weather riding.

 

I wore some old hiking boots that were over-the-ankle.

 

Well, I think I'm gonna go ahead and get some hiking shoes, the upper is all leather, so that should be good.
Thanks guys

Good idea. Buy something that you'll wear often enough to make the purchase worth it, even if you won't be riding in them regularly.

And good luck in the MSF class. I'm taking it here next weekend! :woot:
