Guild Wars 2

So I decided I want to get the commando pants for my thief, got my personal story up to 78, got the pants… and discovered that it cuts off everything above the ankle on my boots. Now this normally wouldn’t be an issue except that now I have my character’s extremely pale ankles showing every time he takes a step.

So the question is: Are there any boots that actually work with the commando pants? Or am I just going to have to find a new set of trousers?

Well, I tried the Duelist’s boots (15-40 karma armor) and they work pretty well. Not 100%, but it’s enough that I don’t notice it most of the time unless I’m looking for it.

Hmmmm, I haven’t noticed that particular problem. Have you tried the “leather” level 40-ish boots or the Warhound boots that you can buy from the karma vendor in… Iron Marshes I think?

My thief is charr though, couldn’t vouch for other races.

Edit:
Oh, and just to be clear: the pants will cover most of the boots, no matter which ones you use. But with either of these pairs of boots I haven’t noticed any “clipping” between pants and boots.

You forgot to specify gender.
That also sounds like a bug with the pants.

Well, the issue is that the pants (at least on human, and I presume all the humanoid races) cut off the boot, similar to how some shirts will go over gloves and simply removes the model above the wrist. The issue then being that it doesn’t make allowances for different angles (when running).

And my character is male.

That’s unfortunate cause they are the best looking pants on a charr (and the only ones that don’t make it look like you’re wearing bike shorts). Have you tried commando boots? It’s strange that the pants would have clipping issues with boots from the same set. It’s worth looking through the PvP locker so you can preview and guess which boots might not have the issues.

From what I can tell there are no commando boots in PvE. The previous boot rewards at least appear to be from a different set and looking through the wiki for future rewards doesn’t show anything either.

Also, the Preview does not help as the issue is only noticeable while moving.
