Einhardt's Steel-Toe Boots

Equipment Name: Steel-Toe Boots
Equipment Level: 1
Equipment Type: Boots
Equipment Description: A seemingly normal pair of marine issue boots, but with a surprise inside. Plated with steel at the toe and along the soles of the boots, it renders Einhardt's feet almost entirely immune to normal types of injury without being too unseemly.
Equipment Significance: Defensive equipment
Equipment Strength:

• Allows Einhardt to ignore basic floor hazards such as caltrops. Slightly more resistant to corrosive substances.
  
• Can realistically defend against things a normal boot couldn't, such as sword strikes or attempted puncturing. Also hurts more if you try to punch them.
  
• Adds just a little more oomph to a kick.

Equipment Weaknesses:

• Considering the nature of the plating, if someone knows where the plates are they can aim a strike in between and score a fairly decisive hit.
  
• The upper portion of the foot is less protected than the rest.
  
• If the steel is bent or otherwise misshapen it will render the boots unwearable or at least incredibly uncomfortable until repaired.

One more weakness. Bump this when you are done.

It's rather difficult to come up with disadvantages to wearing steel-toe boots over regular boots. XD

Approved
