My choice in footwear over the decades has been from heavy to light, starting with my first pair of vibram soled boots - heavy mountaineering boots (Molitors) down to low cut shoes or even just plain sneakers.I do retain high top boots for working on digs (sometimes) and forest fires (not likely any more). Boots can be comfortable (my best was a pair of made-to-order Limmers) but low cut shoes are far more likely to ecel in that regard for me.

I think WD is right - fit is a very individual thing.
