Image Source: Guardians of the Galaxy
Intent: To make Rockets Boots sell-able by the Red Ravens
Development Thread: If Needed
Manufacturer: Salvatrucha Economic Development Corporation/Red Ravens
Model: RR - Polytropus Boots V1

Affiliation: Red Ravens, Open market via Red Ravens
Modularity: No
Production: Mass Produced
Material: Durasteel, Fire Resistant Materials (Space Kevlar/Nomex)

Description:
These boots take some getting used to. The Red Ravens and SEDC take no responsibility for injuries taken by the users of these boots. We also strongly suggest a helmet the first few times you use them. While quite popular with bounty hunters, pirates and extreme sports enthusiasts, the wisdom of strapping what equates to two separate jetpacks on your feet is questionable at best. Without control which generally comes from practice it is quite common for these to accidentally be sent in slightly different directions resulting in some rather unfortunate thigh and groin trauma, as well as some extremely memorable crashes and collisions

Functioning much like a harder to control if somewhat more convenient jetpack the Polytropus boots are capable of roughly three to five minutes flight per fuel canister or about 10 to 12 bursts, whichever comes first

They are available in black, brown or red.

Primary Source: Canon
This is literally a canon thing. I just want to be able to sell it. And to get it in more colours. Fashion is important.

Suggestions
Twenty Minutes of Flight time is too much. Most Jetpacks in cannon were like 1-2. Repulsor Packs were about 10 but they were fairly larger than those little boots. And Hyrbids were normally about 10-15 minutes, again larger.

Beef up the description to an actual paragraph and change the flight time to about half of one of the above mentioned flight Times. Boots aren't capable of holding as much fuel as a full on jetpack.
 
I made up the time, If it's not on wookieepedia I don't know it. Edited however. It's still on the somewhat higher end of hybrid but having now viewed a couple videos of Cad Bane I reckon it's fairly accurate. That sucker turned them on a lot.

Also if we're being frank the number of folks who are going to be willing to drop out of the sky or ground themselves is just about nil anyway. This keeps them from doing anything stupid like using them as a primary means of transportation and restricts it to a situational gimmick as was intended.
