Bike Ankle Boots - Thoughts Please

[noggythenog]

Ok just a pic as a n example but who knows what the sticky out bits on the back of boots are for?????


Full length plus some of these stunt boots have them.


Here's my theory :rolleyes .....they protrude out the back creating a high spot so that if you're sliding on your back then the high spot wears down instead of your calf muscle?????




But could they also not catch on the road & try to rip your foot off????
