your ankle is a joint... it's gonna be more prone to injury than a bone... bones are actually pretty strong for the most part... ankles and wrists have a lot of other things that can go wrong also... ligaments, tendons or fluid in the joints... ect...

AFAIK... it takes longer for a broken ankle to heal than a broken leg too... and has much longer recovery time... the "splinting" process... ie pins and shit... isn't as easy either...


here's a decent selection of boots... it's sorted by type... but you can go back and browse by brand, type, and price I believe
