Sherry tried them on at Royal Distributing...they really aren't practical.
Huh? They're motorcycle boots that add ~3 inches to a woman's height. Isn't that what you were seeking?
All I could think is broken ankles and legs.
Ridiculous. So, drive a car!
I have ridden for ~35 years, 400,000 km in high-top running shoes.
Did someone ever tell you motorcycling was a good way to protect your ankles and legs!?
She's too short to ride a bike, basically.
But assuming this can be overcome, now she's worried she'll break ankles/legs?
I have news for you - no kind of footwear can ever assuage these fears...
Let's not forget, the very finest safety equipment cannot protect your life - you can be killed; motorcycling is dangerous.
(With ATGATT, maybe open-casket though.)
I obviously don't know her but your wife seems to not have "the right stuff" for riding...
Heck, some people are gonna be afraid while riding the TTC, heheh.
It's a very unsafe world.
And I like it that way...
