I have boots too and have gone to the store in flip flops.Flip flops were not a good choice.

I wear Steel-toe Leather/Textile SWAT boots.....they come way up above my ankle, and when laced up, the loops are way above any of the pegs or levers

EVERY TIME I GET ON THE BIKE!

no matter how convienient wearing sneakers/hiking boots may be , if you are ever involved in even a minor tip over and your foot becomes trapped under the bike....... you are in trouble with a capital  T
would you ever intentionally drop over 500-600 lbs on your feet ?   of course not....   

KOokaloo! (wear your damn gear)

So, Frank, what are you supposed to wear to protect feet from your 6" vice?  :-)

Teknic Defender Boots, every time.  Current pair is about worn out, just wore thru the sole.  Got a new pair on deck.

Ditto!  My original pair of Teknic Defenders are almost worn out.  The backup pair will probably be called to duty sometime this year.

I bought an expensive pair of Alpinestar boots, but the sloped heel won't allow me to get the sidestand down unless I dismount and use my toe.
