Ruby's boots are, besides being colored to match her scheme, perfectly generic combat boots.

Hell, they're proportioned totally differently; and most boots like that have an ankle strap to tighten them and prevent them from flopping around.

My mom owns a pair of boots that have long laces and an ankle strap, she uses them for walking in snow because they're warmer, snugger, and have better traction.
