In the hiking and backpacking community the accepted wisdom is that walking boots provide more ankle support than trail shoes and thereby reduce the risk of ankle injury. However, I can find no evidence to back up this claim.

Does anyone know of any studies comparing the incidences of ankle injuries in boots and shoes, whether they be walking boots/trail shoes, sport specific boots/shoes, or even standard/fashion boots/shoes?
I've been asked to write an article on footwear for a walking magazine, and I want to be sure that the article is based on scientific evidence rather than accepted wisdom as there's always the possibility that 'accepted wisdom' is neither accepted nor particularly wise.
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
