Lack of Ink Saver (main) on Shoes?

Is it me or is there a severe lack of shoes that have the Ink Saver (main) as their Main ability? So far I've only seen two shoes with it (one of which I own):

:shoes_shi000: and :shoes_sht001:

Are there any more that I don't know of/remember, or is this an actual endangered gear species? :scared:

There is the one-star :shoes_sht002:and the three-star :shoes_bot003:. I have those two right now.
Those shoes have Ink Resistance Up :ability_inkresistance:, but LMG is talking about Ink Saver Main :ability_inksavermain:.

There are the Splash Mob shoes which have a 5x higher chance of getting Ink Saver Main as a sub.

I have the strapping reds with 3x ink saver subs (better than 1 main), its only 1 star though so not really worth it to buy from anyone. Although it didnt take long to reroll for them.

Get the Strapping Whites(3-star) or Strapping Reds(1-star). They are made by splash mob so there common ability is Ink Saver Main. That's what I did. If you can get 2 or 3 ISM's on the White's it can replace the jungle hat.

I guess it's safe to say that there's nearly no shoes with Ink Saver (main) as it's main ability, then. Hopefully Autobots win this Splatfest, because I'll need a lot of rerolls :confused:

It's not so unusual really - prior to the update, 16 main abilities were distributed across 46 items of footwear, with the distribution favouring the 3 unique abilities, which each get 4 items (presumably since these aren't available on anything else). This leaves 13 abilities distributed across 34 items, with the upshot that each ability gets either 2 or 3.

Edit: Oops! ^That's wrong - the unique abilities only had 3 items before the update. Still, 16 shared between 46 still evens out at either 2 or 3.
