Boots were a piece of armor (or clothing) used for defending the feet and lower legs.[1]
Description[]
Boots came in several types (such as high, low, hard, and soft), and could be enchanted.[1] Riding boots were used by adventurers when riding mounts.[2]
Those who wore magical boots must wear the pair (one on each foot) to receive the benefits. Oddly matched boots provided no benefit.[3]
Plate armor, which covered almost all of the body, included heavy leather boots.[4][5][6] Climber's kits came with boot tips to make scaling mountainous slopes much more easy.[7][8]
