Your civilization doesn't "do" high boots, only low boots.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

This is an enscribed adamantine dwarf-leg hammer.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes OF SHEER AWESOMENESS.

Specific civs choose from an item list? I thought all civs of the same race had the same stuff

dwarves dont make high boots anymore at all, without modding.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

They'd not have needed greaves otherwise.

You're mistaken. Dwarves do make and use high boots in vanilla; I just checked the (pure vanilla) copy of my DF entity_default file, and found the relevant entry for dwarves using high boots on the 34th line of the Mountain entity entry.

As other have said, sometimes civs choose only a few types of coverings for each part of their body instead of all of the ones marked "common." This is an unfortunate thing sometimes, as high boots cover more than low, but if you've got greaves it usually isn't too big of a deal.

I was pretty sure I hadn't tampered with the Dwarf entity but mine make them.

Well, to tell if I've screwed things up or not go into raw -> objects -> entity_default
and look at the ENTITY:MOUNTAIN stuff (translation: dorfs.)
'Bout two dozen lines down you should see a few things that start with SHOES and then make note of what's there. ITEM_SHOES_BOOTS are high boots and ITEM_SHOES_BOOTS_LOW are low boots. If they have COMMON at the end of the line your civ ought to have them most of the time and if they have UNCOMMON you'll only get them for some civs. I guess you could like mod out socks or something before you gen a world to give them a higher probability.
