Try Jungle Boots.

Well, Jungle boots do not have give support to the ankle thus when use extensively, the angle may be injuried!

Actually I have twisted my ankle more than once with a jungle boot on an it has stopped my ankle from being injured.

You know, I had these really really old Army boots. Standard black and all. They were the model with a really tall ankle on them. Those gave my feet the best support of any combat boots I've owned, but I don't believe they make them anymore. I have really narrow big feet, so what generally works for me doesn't work for anyone else.

5.11 HRT Series Boot. I love them and I think they're better than sliced bread.
