The item set is really well done and I always enjoy more traditional clothing in TF2, but these seem to be a worse version of the Argyle Ace. I think making another pair of shoes popular during the fourties and fifties may help making this item more original.

Also, the texture work on this item compared to the other items in the set are not well-modelled and are too blocky. Details such as the cartoonishly-large shoe laces don't have to be there (use the Argyle Ace as a reference for shoes) and these shoes seem a bit too wide to be scouts feet.

Something the Argyle Ace does really well is keeping a neutral theme. There is subtle, muted team colouring on the socks and contrasts well to the rest of scouts playermodel and keep historically true to the Argyle pattern. The socks here are too bright and the pattern on them could use a lot of work.
