Boots affecting track?
anyone out there find that good ankle protection boots affect your track negatively? (compared to in sneakers)? It could just be me or the boots that I have, but i swear that I am way more ass hauling in sneakers when I can really "stretch it out" vs. wearing boots. thoughts?

for me on the wingsuit, i cant wear a thick sole high ankle pro boot, i wear hiking shoes like the lowa's so that i can point my toe more making it more aerodynamic or some shit like that...

Adidas has a great pair of high top trail running shoes that have good ankle support and still have flexibility. GTX is the model. They are the best shoes I have ever worn for BASE.

A good pair of ankle braces under a pair of trail running shoes can go a long way as well.
