Do you ever wear high performance running shoes in A19?

I find them so rarely per game. And never really wear them because its giving up foot armor and mods for foot armor like triplepocket, leg brace, banded armor, fitings, etc.

If you do wear them, do you make the pack mule/parkour investment to make up for some of the mods your missing out on? Or only wear after the 5000 duke fall perk book + packmule/steroids? Etc

Can't wearing them leave you way open to a broken leg or something with the new enemy status/crit system?

I get rid of mine after I get motorized wheels. Before that, though, they and the Letter Jacket are pretty much essential if you're playing Warrior and above. Once I get transportation, though, I go with my light armor and start searching for stealth military boots book. Cloth boots work great when you get them modded to heck. When the RNG is being naughty, though, and the Running Shoes NEVER seem to drop, I use padded boots and just do my best. RNG is like that, though, different every time.

No matter how the RNG is running, I never EVER put any points into Pack Mule. Ever... Parkour, however, is pretty much essential for my favorite type of play... stealth. I don't like that final point, though... hate hitting my head on everything every time I jump, so I just put points into it until I like where it is and as I'm able. I try to be really careful, though, and I put at least one point into Parkour very early in the game because it goes a long way toward preventing those sprains and breaks. Just have to be careful and learn how to utilize your wooden frames to get safely from one area to another.

I dont ever wear them. I play int heavy builds on warrior and unless something happens I have a day 4 minibike. I don't even bother with the bicycle when I focus int and fast track to the minibike. Though this current game they refused to give me an engine till day 5. Sad when you have over 14k gas from wrenching cars before you get your engine. Though there were alot of cars I wrenched that were on stage 3, so can't get engines from them.

Was the typical rng thing though, no engines after spending all of day 4 wrenching cars (already had a battery) day 5 the 2nd car I loot has an engine in it and gives me another when I wrench it. Thanks rngesus.

i wear them all the time along with the college jacket, as i tend to do agility or fortitude builds a lot
outside of those builds, i may wear them for a bit if i don't have much armor yet or i temporarily put them on to make running in armor easier
