Shoes are a plain pair of everyday street shoes. They cover the feet and keep them safe from rough ground and broken glass. They are one of the most common pairs of footwear in the game, and they can be chosen at character creation.

They give moderate warmth and some cover against scratches and bites on the feet. Their main cost is a small cut to running speed. Their main strength is that they are easy to find and wear out slowly.

They come in black and brown pairs, plus a random kind. The brown and random pairs run a little warmer but keep out less water. Shoes turn up in closets, shoe stores, pawn shops and army surplus stores, and many zombies wear them. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.

Wearing


Shoes take the Shoes slot and cover the feet. They keep the feet moderately warm and dry in light rain. They suit spring, summer and autumn. In deep cold or heavy rain, boots are the better choice.

They stop about one bite in ten and one scratch in five on the feet. That is the same cover as Fancy Shoes, Strapped Shoes and Sandals, which share the same figures. Boots, Hiking Boots and Work Boots stop every bite and scratch on the feet, but slow running twice as much. Sneakers speed running up instead, but give less scratch cover and a weaker stomp.

Shoes slow running by about one twentieth. They give a strong stomp, close to that of Boots, which helps finish zombies on the ground. They wear down one point roughly every twelve hits and last for 24 points of wear.

Variations


Shoes comes in 3 versions. Most of their stats match, and the extra columns show the ones that differ.

Locations


Shoes are a very common find. Closets and pawn shops hold them more than half the time. Army surplus shelves, police garage lockers and police outfit storage carry them about as often. Shoe stores, clothing stores and department stores stock them on shelves. Chefs' dressers and wardrobes, bowling alley counters, changing room lockers and prison lockers also turn them up.

Notes


  • Shoes protect the feet from broken glass, which can injure bare feet.
  • They are a safe early pick, with good stomping power and slow wear.
  • Boots are the upgrade when bites to the feet matter more than speed.
  • Sneakers are the swap when running speed matters most.
  • Brown shoes appear on zombies far less often than black ones.
