Looks like the ends are capped with geometry. Can't weld if they're capped.

The ends are capped? meaning the holes on each peice are closed? If so there not. There still two seperate peices of geo. thanks for commenting!

are the boots merged in to the same object as the legs?

if not, try thisL make the boots an editable mesh/poly, then attach the object or other way around and then try welding verts

If you can't select the verts on the boots try going in to vertex mode and press unhide from the editable poly/mesh menu pull down.

Brain's a bit fried so not sure what else to try...

how would attach objects? I made the boots an editable poly and then selected the legs as well as the boots; then the modifier went away. I put another editable mesh modifier on top and I still cant get the verts from the boot to weld to the verts on the legs. I apreciate the help guys.

select one of the objects - eg: the legs

convert to editable poly

go to object properties and select "attach"

then click on another object - eg: the feet

now you should have only one object

I ment that I can learn game art form polycount just as good as going to college. It was ment as a complement. Sorry if it came out wrong.
