The Swaggering Boots look amazing ... in the gemstore banner.

They look OK on my female norn ranger... I guess the extra foot or so of height (she's min height) makes all the difference.

Ironically that's because a lot of gear is badly resized on Norns. In this specific case two wrongs do make a right.

This is why I use drover or similar. Can't stand boot soles most of the time.

I use invisible boots on my light characters. Wrangler or trapper on my medium, and my heavies get one of the cultural ones too.

Yeah, I was hoping for something good, but fortunately previewed and avoided. I'll stick with my Seer boots on my Mesmer.

I'll post an image of my dashing swashbuckler look when I get home (if I remember!)

If on a sylvari then no,. they wil never fix it. Most Boot skins give sylvari elephantiasis of the lower limbs and Anet never cared to fix it. Same goes for sylvari and most shoulders, Anet doesn't care.

I noticed sylvari have very fat calves no boots seem to look good on them.

 

Only when wearing non-cultural armor or an outfit, in which case calves and thighs are often "supersized".

I don't know what happened between point a and b here, but if I bought these ingame without previewing, I'd feel downright scammed. 😕

I tried returning something and ANET said if i contact my bank they will permanently ban my account. They literally said that to me. This is why i don't buy gemstore items no more. The preview isn't always as good either.

So these are the boots I was talking about above:

I have to say I really like them, because I always wanted normal leather boots for my warrior.
The boots beeing a bit more thicker isn't bad for Norn with the skinny physique, either. However, it might not work for every race / physique combination.

Also, at first I didn't like them because they seemed weirdly enameled (like many armor parts), however, it seems to be only the view when previewing armor.

They're relatives of the Spellforged outfit

Interestingly they dont look so bulky on female sylvari

Has anyone who wears heavy armor found a use for the new boots in the gemstore?

I wear light armor, but I hear you can wear boots on your feet.

Same, try wearing them. If you don't like them, why did you get them?

Catfished by boots 😛

Advertised as a sleek new design and you get a fat droopy boot.
