High vs Low boots

is there any difference? --Esoterrik1 19:22, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

According to http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Armor#Types_of_Protection the only difference is that low boots weigh a little less. --Bouchart 20:08, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

High boots have an upstep of 1 meaning they protect the lower leg as well as the foot. Overlapping armour does seem to increase protection, so high boots in conjunction with leg armour provide more protection. High boots also have a material size of 2 instead of 1 for low boots, which if melting works as I think it does, should mean more material will be obtained by melting down metal high boots than low ones. --Metalax 23:26, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

Heavy Armor Set?

Seems strange to call this the "heavy" armor set when the game uses LTH, CHN, and PLT as armor levels. Presumably this should be called the Plate Armor Level, and clarify that the boot in a set of plate is made from metal. Perhaps replicating the table from Armor to show that boots are a part of every armor level would be most appropriate. --Jurph 13:19, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
