I'd get cheap boots that go well above the ankle (with something fairly stiff/hard to prevent crushing from the sides). They don't need fancy features as you will wreck them alot faster than road riding. I've found low speed moments of stupid when everything is muddy and slippery can be pretty abusive to ankles and a Lowa combat type boots are not the best (found out via a footpeg crushing down on mine).
