Sandals of Tiger's Leap grants the flying kick feat when worn much like cleaving weapons grant cleave and ring of evasion grants evasion.
That's an interpretation, if you like.
But where the cleaving weapon says "grants the wielder the use of the Cleave feat", the sandals simply say "allow the wearer to make a flying kick".
Rhino hide and shields wreck the monk's abilities.
Well, a/ we were being silly, and b/ we were proposing Rhino Hide in non-armor form.
A&EG has opened the door to Armor Special Qualities in Bracers... were simply taking it a step sillier and changing a specific armor item into a non-armor item.
