Rare gimmick shoes

[Midaychi]

Tl;dr: Prototype Gimmick Shoes that either come in cargo mis-shipments, are found on the asteroid, or are found around the station hidden randomly under clutter like easter eggs. Intent is that they're somewhat rare.

A startup speciality shoe company funded by space-starter went bankrupt recently, having finished the design and production phases of their fanciful prototype shoes, but then suddenly deciding instead of using normal shipping means, to blow all their investment capital on a 'trial-through-bluespace' technology that allowed customers to try the shoes before they buy, even if they're deep in space.

The experimental shipping system failed, and the company is out of business, but their shoes have been mysteriously showing up all over the galaxy.

Their product line:

1. The Slick Scrubbers

A pair of shoes with engineered scrubber soles based on space cleaner technology, designed to combat the increasing amount of scuff and dirt accumulating in space establishments.
Their gimmick:
- They slowly clean floors as you move over them, rather than slowly making them more dirty.
- Special electroplated teflon-lube coating protects them from getting covered in anything, or leaving footprints.
- Prototype downside of the above: 1 in 100% chance while running that the shoe completely cleans a tile, leaves behind a slippery surface, and slips you on it.

2. The Van Volters

A pair of actuator assisted shoes with a built in power supply. Designed to allow for better movement with less fatigue.
Their gimmick:
- They have a ui button/verb. Toggling it on will increase your run/walk speed on a surface at the cost of battery charge per move.
- Toggling it off will charge the battery per move instead, but your walk/run speed go down on surfaces.
- Prototype downside of the design: 1 in 100% chance while toggled on and running that the shoes dump the remaining charge into a small emp.

3. The Space Sliders

A pair of heel-wheeled shoes. Designed for fun in the workplace.
Their gimmick:
- Toggling their ui button/verb on toggles off your gravity (but doesn't give you the floating animation) *(This doesn't work while the actual gravity of the station is off, or if you're on a non-gravity tile)
- As a side effect of above, you can use a jetpack or thrown objects or a fire extinguisher to jet around faster. Unfortunately, hitting a wall or a closed door while doing this will smack you, damage you (with a chance of breaking a limb if you were going fast enough), and knock you over for a second or two.
- Prototype downside of the design: 1 in 100% chance while toggled to act as if you had slipped over a space lube tile, with applicable additional effects from above if this ends up colliding you into a wall or door.

4. The e-Stronk Stompers

A pair of skin tight steel-rimmed boots that employ special nanoweave taps to enhance your leg muscles via electrical overstimulation. Originally designed as bicycling shoes, but their effect was deemed too damaging to foot pedals.
Their gimmick:
- They give you a spell/ui button with a cooldown called "stomp" that can only be used if you your nutrition meter is yellow or better. It uses up your body's nutrition to stomp whatever simple animal or xenomorph or laying down humanoid you're facing. (think deadspace Isaac stomp)
- Using this spell without a target but while standing on a breakable object will stomp that instead.
- Prototype downside of the design: 1 in 100% chance while toggled to mildly electrocute you instead of stomping


5. The Elastic Force-Erasers

A pair of strangely springy white boots with holes and arches all over its frame. These were designed with EVA safety in mind.
Their gimmick:
- While wearing them, if you ever find yourself accelerated uncontrollably into space, either via mass driver or otherwise, go prone and face the opposite direction to where you're flying at. If you then hit a wall or surface, the damage of such an impact will be strongly mitigated.
- While walking around normally on station, your character will be constantly animated bouncing slightly up and down (think moon shoes from goon, but less strong of a bounce)
- Prototype downside of the design: During a successful impact dampening, there is a 1 in 100% chance that the energy from the impact is then transferred to setting you on fire.

6. The Chemical Crusaders

A pair of weirdly bulbous shoes that have sprayer nozzles on their front and back. They were designed using bluespace technology to aid in fire safety.
Their gimmick:
- They start with a reservoir of water, and pressing their ui button/verb will spray the contained chemical in a "+" plus sign shape centered on you. Ostensibly this would extinguish fires on those tiles (your tile and the adj nsew tiles).
- They have enough for one use, and can be refilled from water tanks. They can alternatively be filled with a syringe.
- Prototype downside of the design (edit): 1 in 100% chance that the contained chemical gets injected into you instead of being sprayed, and a further chance that the chemical is randomly different from the one that was in the reservoir due to a bluespace malfunction.

I think it would be more appreciable for 6) to inject their chemicals on malfunction, instead.
