No foot armor, does it really make a difference?

[clickeverywhere]

I generally only wear boots on my commando. Outside of cav mode, boots don't improve survivability by much. I find that I am shot in the foot most often when charging at bots that are on lower elevation, so only infantry seems to really suffer without foot armor. Because of this, boots should be the last item you look to upgrade.

I haven't equipped my pikeman or archer with leg armor in a while now and have not noticed any negative consequences.
