{{flavour|A pair of boots. They are worn on the feet, and cover all but the largest hooves or talons.}}

'''Boots''' are a form of [[armour]] worn in a character's feet slot. They provide a small amount of [[AC]] (especially when enchanted, max +2) and can have any of the following [[ego]]s:
*[[Flight (ego)|Flight]]: Allows the wearer to [[fly]]
*[[Stealth]]: +50 [[stealth]]
*[[Rampaging]]: Take a free step when moving directly towards an enemy.

==Restrictions==
If you have a rank 3 [[Hooves]] [[mutation]] or the [[Talons]] mutation, you may not wear boots. Characters with fewer ranks of those mutations can freely wear boots, but doing so will disable the associated [[auxiliary attack]].

[[Merfolk]] may wear boots, but they will merge into their tail when they enter water.

The following [[species]] can never wear boots:
*[[Armataur]]
*[[Felid]]
*[[Naga]]
*[[Octopode]]
*[[Oni]]
*[[Spriggan]]
*[[Tengu]]
*[[Troll]]

Nagas and Armataurs may wear [[barding]] in their feet slot instead.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.27]], boots could generate with the [[running]] ego.
*The [[rampaging]] ego was added in [[0.26]].
*The boots of the Assassin were removed in [[0.25]], replaced by the [[hood of the Assassin]].
*The [[jumping]] [[ego]] was removed in [[0.16]].
*The [[boots of the spider]] were removed in [[0.15]] along with the [[cling]]ing mechanic for players.
*Prior to [[0.14]], [[Racial equipment|elven variant]] boots existed, weighing less and adding +20 stealth along with any other benefits the boots may have provided. Also, boots of jumping and the boots of the spider were introduced in [[0.14]].
*The original boots of the Assassin were removed in [[0.13]], only to return with new mechanics in [[0.14]].
*Prior to [[0.12]], boots of flight were instead boots of [[levitation]], which were similar but had several limitations.
