Western Boots are a pair of cowboy style leather boots worn on the feet. They protect the feet from zombie bites and scratches just as well as any other sturdy boot. They also give a strong stomp, which helps finish zombies lying on the ground.
The main cost is speed, since heavy boots slow running a little. In return they last a long time before wearing out. They come in several looks, including plain Brown and Black, an Embroidered pair and a Snakeskin pair.
Most pairs are found in the homes inside the Wild West themed buildings. A skilled crafter can also make a pair from tanned leather. Researching a pair teaches the recipes for both Western Boots and Hide Boots. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The boots keep the feet moderately warm and block a fair share of wind. They keep out about half of the rain and puddle water. That makes them fine for mild weather but weaker than the warmest boots in deep winter.
Every bite and scratch aimed at the feet is stopped while the boots hold together. Their stomp is among the strongest of any footwear. They wear down slowly, losing condition only on about one hit in twenty.
Running speed drops by 10 percent while they are worn. Most other full boots carry the same cost.
Hiking Boots share exactly the same figures, so the choice between them is a matter of looks. Military Boots and Work Boots are warmer and twice as good against wind, and they keep out more water. Hide Boots are lighter on the run, slowing it by only 5 percent, but they stop far fewer bites. For a crafter who wants full foot protection, Western Boots are the better homemade pair.
Tailoring
Using the Research Craft option on a pair teaches two recipes. Make Western Boots lets a crafter build new pairs. Sew Hide Boots teaches the simpler hide footwear.
Make Western Boots needs Tailoring 7 and Carving 2. It uses one piece of medium tanned leather, two spools of heavy thread and one Plank. Scissors, a sewing needle, an awl, a saw and a sharp knife are needed as tools and are kept.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Western Boots and teaches the recipes below.
