Synth-leather boots
Synthleather[1] also known as synth-leather, was a type of stiff leather used by the First Order to make boots and gloves. The leather's stiffness meant that boots supported good posture.[2]
In 19 BBY,[3] synthleather jackets with angular collars were worn by humanoid youths on Coruscant in what former Confederacy of Independent Systems operative Soujen Vak-Nhalis assumed was the latest fashion trend. By that time, speeder seats could also be made of synthleather, in one case producing an odor that Senator Mon Mothma judged to be "grossly artificial." Around then, Saw Gerrera also carried a rifle with cracked synthleather.[4]

Star Wars: Edge of the Abyss on Penguin Books' official United Kingdom website (backup link) establishes the events of Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear take place thirteen years before the events of Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss. 
Rebecca Roanhorse (@rebeccaroanhorse) on Instagram (post): "Title and updated release date of my upcoming STAR WARS novel announced at SDCC. THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS takes place a year before Andor S1." (backup link) states that Edge of the Abyss takes place a year before the events of Andor Season 1, which are set in 5 BBY per the reasoning here. Therefore, the events of Edge of the Abyss must be set in 6 BBY, and the events of The Mask of Fear in 19 BBY.
