OH MY LAUD!


A few weeks ago Charlize Crumb posted in Facebook about the imminent arrival of a new style of ankleboot from Maitreya.  Well... they have arrived!

Priced at L$750 the boots are pretty well the typical price for good quality Second Life footwear.  In the package you get your standard package (alpha, footshaper , shoes and HUD), but also included is a SLink set.  Obviously you have to wear your SLink "High" feet in this case.  With Maitreya now selling a dual format package, could we now see others such as N-Core, Bootgasm, etc doing likewise.  After all, various SL clothing vendors now retail dresses, gowns and other items with options to wear with Lola breasts and Phat Azz bottoms and other similar avatar enhancement.  Why not shoes and boots.

My verdict?  I'm not totally blown away by them.  They look nice enough, and the detailing is excellent. There is virtually no difference in appearance between the standard boot and the SLink option.  That is my main reason for not being impressed.  A look at many other SLink shoes will show impressive build quality.  The "Laud" doesn't quite cut the mustard in comparison.

But... this is purely my personal opinion. You may disagree...
