Klear:
I've realized that I wear tactical boots almost all the time - unless I'm wearing phaseshift or antigrav boots that is. If I'm lucky enough to find the environboots, I keep them as a convenience, but forget about them most of the time.

It seems to me there is almost always a way to get across lava. If there isn't, you can make it yourself using a rocketlauncher. If there is absolutely no way I can get where I need to go without spending too much time in lava, I use an envirosuit.

I haven't discovered the schematics for cerberus boots yet, and I see in the mortems people are assembling them often, but is that really necessary? I just passed Ao100 wearing tactical boots or nothing the whole time and I probably lost only about 50 HP during the whole game to hurtfloors.

Am I doing something wrong, or maybe it's just my playing style? What is your preference when it comes to boots?

Pricklyman:
Sorry to chime in like echo #1, but yeah, tac boots all the way.

As Klear said, wallbusting with your missile launcher (which you damn well should have on a game where you can get to the Wall) is essential, but you can find enough rockets with ease.

In regards to other boots...I had a small love affair with plasteel for a while, but that was on runs where I was spending A mods on speedloaders. Plasteel is OK...but dump them tacs on me any day. Antigrav is nice, but I feel that the building required to get it is...dodgy at best, unless you get mod lucky that is. (Don't get me wrong though...they are epic if you can get 'em!)

Klear:
I only assembled the antigrav boots once (I only found the schematics recently and since then didn't have luck with relevant mods) and I was like "Holy shit! I'm outrunning Lost Souls!

In any case, I was so used to making tactical boots that I made the antigravs from steel boots as well (and didn't even regret it).

AlterAsc:
Depends.Sometimes(MBm for example) i want knockback resistance, +5% additional ms(tac vs A-plasteel) won't help much when you are thrown like a doll from one direction to another.That means plasteel.(AT ideally, which give -75% knockback)
Otherwise i usually go with tactical too.And A-tactical are great too.+25% ms?Yes, please.Though usually i don't want until WK2 to assemble my first tac boots.
Antigrav are...well they are good.Sometimes more than just good.The most benefit of them comes when you can also take HR3 and wear non-heavy armor.Without HR3 it doesn't look as awesome.
I liked cerberus before, now no so much.It's ok to have them just in case.Or if you have napalm launcher.Lava boots are a waste of onyx armor pack, and environmental are just strange - you reached WK1, just take WK2 and assemble cerberus.

Creepy:
I love enviroboots just because standing on a lake of lava and raining hate at the chumps that can't get at me is funny. The Lava Caves are a freaking turkey shoot if you have boot-based lava immunity.

But unless I'm firewalking, I stick with tacboots, yeah.
