Usage
Boots can be placed in the fourth armor slot of a player's inventory for activation.
Statistics
Each armor point reduces damage by 4% (increasing additively). Armor points are signified by half a shirt on the armor bar above the health bar. The effectiveness of armor points is decreased as the strength of incoming attacks increase, an effect lessened by armor toughness. Armor toughness does not have a visual indicator bar. Boots durability is decreased by 1 for every 4HP of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Different boots types have different enchantability from one another, a value that affects the strength of enchantments received directly though enchanting tables. Netherite boots provde a knockback resistance of 1 (10%).

Armor trimming
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a pair of boots, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).
These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
