Hey guys,

I do not have boots yet.
I start MSF this saturday.
Do you think I could wear Tennis Shoes with Ankle Braces just for MSF?

BTW:
They are these kind.

No, I'm 16 year old athletic kid. Don't really have boots. Only running shoes and receiver shoes.
Don't work, yet.

It depends on your instructor, but boots are considered a minimum along with a long sleeve shirt, a helmet and some gloves.

Buy cheap boots from Wal-Mart...ONLY wear them during the course taking extra care to not scuff them. Return them to Wal-Mart when done

You'll have to buy boots eventually :dunno:

For the most part MSF courses require some kind of protective footwear and no ankle braces do not count.

I would lulz if I saw that too :lol:

that's the second time I've heard this very thing suggested! Like others said, you could buck up now and get proper boots and be done with it, or go the cheap route to get you by for the course. Close toed, over the ankle footwear. Hell even a glorified hiking boot fits that bill. Any friends have a hiking boot? Also try army surplus stores, army boot will work too. good luck.

Thank you!

Also, I don't have enough time to get the proper boots.
I think I'm going to go with the cheap route, then return them.

Then I can buy the ones I want online.

That would not be ethical! But then again, neither is Wal-Mart so I could careless...haha.

Just do yourself a favor and before you get on a bike, get your full gear and don't leave home without it. Sidi boots arent going to do you any good because you left them at home since they weren't convenient.
