I love the 'Vampire' armor earlier (except it really needs a helmet - even if it's optional - a helmet that doesn't cover the mouth, naturally
), the green one OTOH looks more like a latex suit than any sort of armor, but I guess that was the idea...
(By the way we use shoes because we do not live in our natural habitat anymore. Almost all of the ground we walk on would hurt our feet over time. This is the same reasoning for putting irons in horses.)
My friend this surely sounds like some crazy Gaian talk
In actuality, it's the other way around - city streets (if someone cleans them) or even cultivated fields are safe-ish to walk on barefoot, but only a moron would go without shoes into the wilderness... Not much of my personal opinion, but a common knowledge where I was raised (in a tiny backwater village in the middle of wilderness, as it happens).
