(I figured this little bit of trivia out after messing around with the mantreads. I would land on a heavy being healed by a medic (causing fatal damage to the heavy), but the heavy wouldn't die and the medic would earn this achievement.)

This American boot just kicked your ass back to Russia!
The Soldier stomping on a Heavy

The Mantreads are a community-made secondary weapon for the Soldier. They are a pair of dark brown tanker boots.

When equipped, the Mantreads reduce the knockback received from damaging weapons by 75%; this does not apply to the player's own weapons and so does not impede rocket jumping. In addition, whenever the player lands on an enemy, if the fall was long enough to cause fall damage to the player, the enemy will be dealt triple the fall damage the player would normally have received, and the player takes no fall damage. Successfully landing on an enemy will be indicated by a unique sound and the Soldier's view will appear to shake. The Mantreads do not take effect if the player lands on a building. The fall does not have to occur from rocket jumping in order to deliver damage.
