That is good to know, as the Roclite 315 GTX V2 have 'Graphene enhanced' soles.

Apart from a couple of low level articles that were written as a result of research funding from the American Army in the 1960's, I could find NO evidence to support that contention that leather boots reduce the risk of ankle injury. Has anybody else done a lit survey and found any interesting scientific articles on this.
