Boots are a type of Armor that offers bonuses to Leg Armor statistics. Leg armor is more important for mounted units than foot units, since it is usually difficult to effectively hit an infantryman's legs. In With Fire & Sword there are no plate or chainmail boots available to the player or regular troops, like those seen in Mount&Blade and Warband. Since so, horsemen can be more easily defeated when hit in the legs by footmen. Like many others items in With Fire and Sword, different boots can share the same name or appearance.
