- Heels to the Wheels - The pop-out roller skate wheels allows the wearer to glide on relatively smooth surfaces, increasing their speed by about 10%.
- Resistant Shimmer - The sequins are made from dura-armor set on an armorweave backing, which create a boot with high blaster and lightsaber resistance.
- Rain, Snow, Go Away - Duranex and a weather-proof coating maintains the boot integrity during all kinds of environmental or elemental damage. Does not protect from discoloration, some cleaning may be necessary.
- Battle Bling - Stylish design makes these boots pop on the battlefield, or anywhere else, making them easy additions to the fashioned-minded warrior wardrobe.
- Ankle-Biting - Overuse of the heelies can cause some ankle fatigue, especially on uneven surfaces. Not recommended for some species.
- Long-Laced - These boots are designed to rise close to mid-shin, and as such have a long ankle and laces which takes longer to get on or off.
Rarely does one find comfort, style and function all wrapped up in one neat, little package, but that's exactly what the DuraBoot Glide is. Aimed at a younger, or young-at-heart, crowd of customers, the DuraBoot Glide is a fashionable accessory for the active being, delivering proper foot support and protection at the same time. A blend of Nylar and Duranex keeps the boot strong yet allows a normal range of mobility for the wearer, while Armorweave and Dura-Armor provide protection against a host of hostilities a boot-wearing being might encounter.
The DuraBoot Glide's secret weapon, besides its glamorous chic, is the toe-activated wheel which pops out of the heel, called heelies, that turn the boots into impromptu roller skates. This lets the wearer glide on smooth surfaces, giving them a slight advantage in urbanized areas. The low-tech approach, rather than using repulsorlifts as some higher-cost approaches, keeps the boots affordable for the younger clientele for whom the DuraBoot Glide is their ideal fashion statement.
Fighters should not have to suffer fashion disasters when selecting the appropriate wear to keep them safe, and Heartbeat understands.
