Leather Shoes

Leather Shoes is an Outer feet item in The Long Dark. It adds 1°C warmth and 0.5°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 10%. It weighs 0.5 kg.

Within the Outer feet slot its 1°C warmth ranks #8 of 12 entries here — on the lighter-warmth end for that layer.

At 2°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #44 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a middling ratio.

Its 2% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 3% mobility penalty — it slows you slightly, so a lighter inner layer can be the better trade when you are carrying a heavy load.

Crafting notes: it repairs with 1 × Cured leather, 1 × Cloth; 90 minutes; 20% condition and harvests into 2 × Cured leather; 75 minutes.

Verdict: Overall Leather Shoes is a 1°C Outer feet piece, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
