Summary0007914: Water-walking Foot Enchant
DescriptionSince the developers are currently splitting Leg enchants into Leg and Foot enchants, I think that Foot enchants could use a little more variety.

For that, how about water walking shoes (Skimmer Shoes)? The shoes' basic effect would be to allow the player character to "land" on the surface of water as if it were solid (they would not take acid water damage but can take fall damage). If you want to actually go into the water, simply press duck+jump. You'll still need Acid Gills to not take damage while in the water, so this is by no means a replacement.

Since adding innate effects to feet enchants seems to be all the rage, how about -IncomingDamage and +Move? I notice that no Foot enchant currently has it in the cards to grant -IncomingDamage, so a lone Foot enchant that still does have it may make it attractive as a purely defensive option.

The problem with those is that they're really not competitive with double jumps. I'd think that foot slots should be more (different types of) jumps, and straight mobility should be legs, so Skimmer Shoes would likely be a Legs slot. (Defensive stuff is more torso - there's already damage reduction enchants for the torso, and duplicating effects across multiple slots is something I'd prefer not to see to keep each slot relatively focused in purpose.)
