These do not land on one part of the body: the game adds up every piece you wear, then keeps a sixth of the total for explosions, bites and heat, and all of it for radiation. Cold is insulation, where 100% is as warm as clothing gets.

Boots skins
97
97 skins on the Steam Market change how Boots look, from $0.13 to $11.50, and one more is in the item store this week.
Also listed: 3 Twitch and Kick drops, marked “Drop”. They never reach the market, so they have no price.
In Rust, Boots is a clothing and armor in the Attire category (item ID #-1549739227, console shortname shoes.boots). In active play, they follow standard server rules for clothing and armor gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
Sturdy work boots to keep your toes safe, you'd feel nothing if you kicked a table leg. Strong protection against the cold and incoming damage.
Blueprint unlock savings (game files): Research Table study (30 scrap) saves 60 scrap (67% less) vs the 90-scrap tech tree branch
Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance
Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname shoes.boots to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes
Boots crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust
Crafting Boots in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 30 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
How Boots compares to related attire in Rust
When choosing between Boots and related attire in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 90-scrap tech tree path and save 60 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
