"Functional" IDF Boots

Pretty simple. The IDF boots clearly have some kind of booster attached to them. It would be great if the boosters had an effect while jumping or flying.

Personally, I do not think this would overshadow the Rocket Boots. The IDF boots are noticeably larger, have boosters placed in different locations than those of the Rocket Boots, and (based on the default coloring) would most likely emit a differently colored flame/afterburner effect.

The one obvious problem with this is the orientation of the boosters: they are perpendicular to the bottom of the foot, and in flight a character's feet tend to be pointed behind them, which means the booster effect would fire at an illogical angle so as to simulate flight. To fix that, the booster effect can be adjusted to fire at a more logical angle, or just let the player justify it how he/she will. After all, the Rocket Boots look quite illogical when used in the default flying pose or the flypose2 emote.

Anyone else out there who would like to see a little more out of these awesome boots?
