Incoherent Rambling
So, I'm sure you have seen fem V's flat feet. Yeah, stop with the booing and bear with me a second here. Dunno if this is common knowledge, but fem V's flat feet only exist when they have no shoes/boots/whatever on. Shoe goes on, feet change to lifted feet. That's why all vanilla footwear for fem V is so ... odd. It has to hide the fact that V's feet are lifted in there. That's why there are no low tops or really any flat shoes that would expose V's ankles.
Which brings me to the heavy boots (technical name) aka fleets (in-game name). Lots of potential, but the fit on fem V is just terrible in my most humble opinion. Honestly, I think they're unusable in their default state. Masc V's version is better, but they're still too large and they share the super wide uppers. The color variants - while well in line of other garments in the game - don't really work with a lot of other clothes IMHO. This mod is my attempt of fixing all that.
What This Is
Mesh edits and recolors of the vanilla heavy boots (aka fleets) to make them more usable and versatile.
I've changed the fem V version to use flat feet and reshaped the boots to be actually boot shaped. Both versions are now a lot tighter around the calves and downsized to match the size of V's feet. No more extra room for three pairs of extra thick wool socks. Penultimately I recolored them to make them work with different styles. Finally I made new garment support morphs, so the boots don't hideously deform when pant legs go over them. In most cases anyway.
I strongly recommend using Equipment-EX.
Public Service Announcement
To make these more versatile I intentionally tagged these as "Normal" size. This means normal size pants will go over the boot, tight pants will go in. This works pretty well on fem V, but for some pants it doesn't work all that well on masc V.
You can influence this behavior with Equipment-EX which is again strongly recommended.
Item Codes
If you can't wait to find/buy/steal them the honest way.
Known Issues
I did my best (as always) to find a good compromise to make these work with pant legs tucked in and pant legs going over the boots. It is still a compromise, though and some combinations may show some slight clipping. Also on masc V some pants will go over and crush the boots which will look bad. Use Equipment-EX to make the pants tuck in in those cases.
Compatibility
Will obviously clash with other mods that edit or recolor the heavy boots.
Installation
Just drop the contents of the zip file into your game's root folder like a caveperson or use a mod manager of your choice.
