In my experience barefoot/minimalist type shoes with little-to-no heel rigidity result in fewer injuries. I've tweaked my ankle pretty badly with regular shoes (with the molded plastic base that supposedly provide "support"). If my foot slips unexpectedly, the heal can get caught and act as a wedge, exerting way more force on my ankle than a minimal shoe. Distant 2nd choice would be the alpine style hiking boots with over-the-ankle cover, but unless it's very tight (like hockey skates), there is always be enough play to really tweak my ankles if I slip.
