The Mantreads are a pair of boots that take up the secondary weapon slot of the Trooper.
It gives the user full immunity against knockback via airblast, making it an effective counter against airblast-happy Arsonists. It also increases the user's reload speed by 20%, increase their stomp damage by 300%, and grants a full immunity towards fall damage.
This weapon trades away the reliability of the Shotgun and the ability to rocket jump at the cost of very little health point of the Gunboats in return for never taking fall damage and knockback reduction. The go-to secondary for a full "Trollper" subclass playstyle but can also be used as an excellent mobility/bombing tool.

Tips
- Use this weapon when you're on a map with cliffs and has an enemy Arsonist, like the map Rooftop, Upward, and the third point of Boundary.
- Using this with the Cow Mangler 5000 or Wrecker's Yard will make the slower reload time redundant.
