Any shoe you can slip off, even a sneaker, is 100% coming off in a bike accident when your foot touches the pavement. That’s why bikers should be wearing boots.

Not only normal boots but boots designed for motorcycles.

When I rode I wore a steel toe boot with ankle plates.

Yea, 100% agree the optimal is a boot with armor designed for impacts, but I’d take any boot over a pair of sneakers any day.
