Work Boots are heavy duty boots worn on the feet. They are a top pick for everyday footwear. They stop every bite and scratch on the feet, keep them warm and keep out most water.
They also give a strong stomp, which helps finish zombies lying on the ground. Their main cost is speed, since heavy boots slow running a little. In return they last a long time before wearing out.
Work Boots are a common find. Clothing stores, department stores, shoe stores and outdoor supply storage stock them. Many work lockers and closets hold a pair as well. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The boots give the feet full marks for warmth and block all wind. They keep out most of the rain and puddle water. That makes them a strong pick for winter and for wet ground.
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.
Military Boots share exactly the same figures, so the choice between them is a matter of looks. Hiking Boots and Western Boots protect just as well but are less warm and let in more water. Rubber Boots keep out all water but give only half the warmth, and they wear out faster.
Locations
Work Boots are a common find. Clothing store shelves, department store shelves and outdoor supply storage hold a pair four times in ten. Shoe stores have them about a third of the time. Closets are a good bet as well.
Lockers in farm worker dorms, break rooms, changing rooms, factory storage and fire stations often hold a pair. Dressers and wardrobes in carpenter workshops and farmhouses turn them up too. Tool store counters stock them now and then.
