I ride with regular MC riding boots, except when I'm just cruising to our local store, about 5 miles away on a 2 lane mountain road. Then it's usually tennis shoes or whatever I have on, with the exception that I NEVER ride with sandals or shorts - a line I do not cross! Since you had the injury, you should be able to best assess the gear you'd want, under the circumstances.
Keep in mind, you cannot anticipate every conceivable event, so like every other situation in life, you plan for the "average". This means whatever kind of gloves, pants, shirt, or jock strap you feel you need, combined with rational common sense. Whatever your choice, it will probably be wrong the next time, when your new boots protect your ankles just fine, but the handlebars slice across your neck violently ripping out your jugular. Statistics show that motorcycling is not the safest lifestyle you can choose. Just making a point...
