I think the more styles the better, as long as the styles aren't plain ugly which doesn't really usually happen

As for your last point, @Extra Ram, the Mercs get paid LOTS of money (Spy having a clean suit IN battle no less), so that statement of them being too poor to afford good clothing is invalid when they get paid a ton of money, probably even within the 5 or 6 digit range (Example: Heavy giving away 7,000 dollars to a child he made cry in a Scream Fortress comic despite having a family to feed)!

I get that, but there's no harm in adding more styles to a cosmetic that some players would, no doubt, prefer to have a clean version of. If left with only this style, there's going to be less players who want it, because it excludes anyone who wants to own & use an undamaged version of the cosmetic (same reason why some players prefer worn-down warpaints and others want factory new ones, because both variants allow variety depending on the users' loadout idea). Sure, there's a good chunk of shoes already for Scout, but the closest ones that these can be compared to are the hot heels & Buck turner all-stars, yet even those have a significant difference in appearance.

Very in-character. Nice work.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having a cosmetic called 'Ruined Runners' if there's a style that totally negates their entire purpose, but you do you.

There's already a lot of sneaker cosmetics in the game & workshop that offer totally fine shoe options, so something that's intended to be intentionally mangy and very well-worn is a totally fine option to offer.

It also fits when you think about the fact that all the mercs in TF2 are literally using whatever they can to fight, instead of being a well-funded & well-outfitted militia, so seeing Scout running around in gross ratstompers would totally fit that aesthetic.

@Mallow, That's the purpose of styles having names though, to sometimes offer a loophole for cosmetics w/ styles that would otherwise contradict the original name of the item (Refurbished & Rundown could probably be the names of the clean & dirty styles). Plus, there's likely more people who'd rather use a clean version of this cosmetic if given the option, so there's no harm in adding more variety when both variants could fit in for different loadout sets.

these are fine as is, factory new style wouldn't make sense for a cosmetic named ruined runners, and we already have shoe cosmetics in nice condition. i like cosmetics that make sense out in the battlefields of the badlands, not modern garbage that doesn't fit the game, or character, or something that makes the merc look like an absolute braindead moron. in conclusion, this is nothing over the top, it just changes a very small, but realistic thing about the scout's attire. i'd honestly wear it if it was in the game. good work :)

i agree with the guy bellow me

They look pretty decent. I do think, however, that there should be a "factory new" style, as this would encourage more players to obtain them by adding more variety in loadout customization (this style for lower-budget-themed loadouts, and the other style for cleaner-looking loadouts).

FINALLY RAT STOMPERS FOR OTHER CLASSES. Every class needs a shitty shoe cosmetic.

scout socks. voting yes.

When you don't wanna buy new shoes. Looks nice tho, woudn't mind seeing this getting added.

@ShadowMan44
I feel like they pay way less attention to glove/hand cosmetics than shoe cosmetics.

"He will NEVER have the rat stompers!"
"PFFFFT-"

I'm hoping these get in because Valve for some reason really does not like adding shoes/boot items anymore...

just copped the new air jordans

Reds shoe color might need to be a bit brighter like blues but good cosemetic!
