No foot armor, does it really make a difference?

[Mr.Peso]

Boots are basically only important for ranged players since the shieldwall/slashers usually don't get hit in the legs/feet.
The bots never aim down with sideswings or stabs from what I experienced.
As a ranged I usually wear lighter boots such as rus shoes on my pikeman. In total you get more than enough armor and I don't want to sacrifice more speed for the rare occasions I get hit in the legs.
