Rubber Boots are tall waterproof boots worn on the feet. They are made for wet ground and rainy weather. Like other proper boots, they stop every zombie bite and scratch that lands on the feet.
Their main strength is keeping the feet completely dry and out of the wind. Their main cost is weight on the move, since they slow running by a tenth. They also wear out a little faster than the heavy work and military boots. They are found in outdoor, camping, fishing and garden stores, and in clothing and shoe shops. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Rubber Boots are worn in the Shoes slot and cover the feet. They block all the wind and all the rain. That makes them the best footwear in the game for wet weather. Their warmth is moderate, so on their own they suit wet autumn days better than deep winter cold.
For cold weather, Work Boots and Military Boots are warmer. Both keep out all the wind as well, but they let some rain through. Hiking Boots match Rubber Boots for warmth and let in half the rain.
Every proper boot stops bites and scratches on the feet completely. Rubber Boots do the same. Sandals and Twine Footwear only stop about one bite in ten.
The speed cost is the same as for other heavy boots. Running is slowed by 10 percent while they are worn. Sandals and Hide Boots slow running by only half as much.
A stomp in Rubber Boots hits about twice as hard as a barefoot stomp. Work Boots and Military Boots stomp a little harder still.
Rubber Boots wear out a little sooner than Work Boots or Hiking Boots. Each hit is more likely to cost them condition, and they have less condition to lose.
Locations
Rubber Boots are a fairly common find in the right shops. Storage rooms of outdoor supply stores hold them about a third of the time. Clothing racks in camping stores, fishing stores and garden stores hold them about one time in four. Bedroom lockers turn them up often too. Clothing stores, department stores, shoe stores, hunting lodges and tool stores all stock them on shelves and counters. A closet or a garage now and then holds a pair.
