Just use a good stiff boot+++
Using Salamon Malamutes and for me freaking slippers. I had injuries in my 2 legs. This is the only boot that a good comfortable fit fir me.
Like very good advice already stated above, buy your slippers.
The problem is that it takes time to find the best one.
No 4 hours in the store will tell. Unfortunately ride 10 to 15 hours in it. Trash and repeat.
Yeah I know costly hobby...
