Hi everyone, there's one detail I was curious about. I think the book describes Shurq Elalle's dresses, but I don't remember anything being said about her footwear, so I wanted to ask you if it's mentioned anywhere?

A couple of fan drawings have her wear boots, but I've always imagined her with bare feet: pirates often went barefoot onboard their ships for better grip, and zombies are also usually depicted barefoot, having no need for footwear. So for a pirate zombie, it would be twice as likely Posted Image

She wears boots, possibly ones with heels, and no dresses. Dresses are crap incarnated for climbing walls and jumping across ships.

This is from Midnight Tides:

Shurq Elalle stood in front of the long silver mirror. Instinct had her gauging the worth of all that silver for a moment before she finally focused on the reflected image. A healthy pallor to her skin, her cheeks glowing with vigour. Her hair was clean and had been cut for the first time in years, scented with a hint of patchouli oil. The whites of her eyes were clear, a wet gleam reflecting from her pupils.
The rotted leathers and linen of her clothing had been replaced with black silks beneath a short black calf-hide jacket. A new weapons belt, tanned leggins and high boots. Tight leather gloves. 'I look like a whore.'
'Not any old whore, though, right?' Selush said.
'True, I'll take your coin then kill you. That's how I look.'

Puck was not birthed, she was cleaved from a lava flow and shaped by a fierce god's hands. - [worry]
