Yeah -- you definitely need fenders that run close to the tire. You won't see anything come out of the sides. Once you have it set up right, you'll wonder how you lived without them for so long.
A note - I have the Freddy Fenders which have a built-in mud flap, as mentioned above. But even that mud flap didn't go low enough to protect my feet, so I extended it a few inches.
