The Hide Boots are sturdy boots sewn by hand from tanned hide. They are footwear worn in the Shoes slot. They keep the feet warm and stop most scratches, at a lighter cost to speed than store bought boots.
Their strength is a good balance of warmth, toughness and speed. Their cost is weaker protection against bites than proper boots. They suit a survivor who has run out of boots to loot and has learned to work leather.
The boots are made with the Sew Hide Boots recipe. It needs Tailoring at level 4 and must be learned first. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The boots cover the feet. They give a fair amount of warmth and block more than half the wind. They keep out about half the rain, which helps on wet ground.
They stop about eight scratches in ten and four bites in ten on the feet. Hiking Boots and Military Boots stop every bite and scratch to the feet. Those boots slow running by a tenth, while the hide boots slow it by only a twentieth.
A stomp in hide boots hits hard, a little below Hiking Boots and Work Boots. The boots are well made and wear down slowly, losing condition on about one hit in twenty. Hiking Boots wear at the same rate.
They sit in the Shoes slot, so no other footwear can be worn with them.
Tailoring
Sewing the boots needs scissors or a sharp knife, a needle and an awl. It also takes one medium tanned hide and one length of heavy thread. The recipe needs Tailoring at level 4, and it must be learned before use. Research Craft on a pair teaches three recipes: Sew Hide Boots, Weave Twine Shoes and Sew Leather Gaiter.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Hide Boots and teaches the recipes below.
