From EA on, I have hated the default boots most characters have- it's like they can't decide if they want to be 80's leg warmers or Peter Pan boots. Imagine my surprise when I get to Act 2 and there are lots of cool looking boots found in boxes- but by then everyone has magic ones. What I'd like to see is those mundane boots added to loot tables for NPCs and crates in early game, where they can be useful- maybe even to vendor lists. Just for cosmetic purposes. I mean, if my boots are going to see everything, they should look good while doing it, right?
