Plain Leather Flight Boots vs. Nomex lined Racing Shoes?

Another safety related question...what would be best, Simpson Racing Shoes, with FR fleece lining, or leather Test Pilot Boots from Chippewa?

Which would be best for surviving a post crash fire scenario?

Leather boots. I always wore them while flying. We were issued Bellevilles.

The Racing shoes look neat, but how much blunt force trauma will they protect your feet from? A crash just isn't going to be fire.

Yes, I agree. Plus the leather boots have steel safety toes, and steel sole plates. They look good, and really shine, if you are into that.
