You can strengthen your joints, and you can march without boots. I hike a heavy pack up hills, and when I do I wear light shoes little different than water shoes or wrestling shoes. When I do wear boots I feel my legs (and especially knees) working much harder, but I've never once had an ankle issue from wearing light footwear.
