Golden boots are a variant of boots crafted from gold ingots. Like all golden armor, piglins are attracted to golden boots, and do not attack any player wearing them.

Mob loot
Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, bogged and piglins have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include golden boots. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the boots they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.
Usage
When worn, golden boots provide 1 () armor point.
Piglins
As with other pieces of gold armor, piglins do not attack players wearing golden boots unless provoked or attacked.
Piglins are also attracted towards golden boots on the ground and equip them after inspecting them.

Unit repair
| Ingredients | Anvil recipe |

| Damaged + Gold Ingot |
Boots can be repaired in an anvil by adding units of the tiers' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the boots' maximum durability, rounded down. Two boots of the same tier can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the boots' enchantments.

Armor trimming
It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, 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.
