Platforming Shoes are a pair of magical footwear which can come in virtually any form--sandals, boots, or even pumps. Regardless, the bottom of the footwear always appears a bright color such as orange or green.
While the wearer is airborne, she can instantly create a floating wooden platform immediately beneath her feet, so that the platform is touching her feet. This platform is square, with any of its sides equal to half the wearer's height. The platform is composed of decently sturdy wood, but will instantly break if more than triple the wearer's weight is applied to it. If the platform breaks, it strike with sufficient force, catches fire, or loses contact with the wearer's footwear or body, it will instantly vanish. Otherwise, it can remain hovering in air indefinitely for so long as the wearer remains atop it. If the platform is struck or catches fire, another cannot be summoned for 1 minute--otherwise another can always be summoned immediately.
By repeatedly jumping from an old platform to a new one, the wearer can effectively climb or traverse any distance without touching ground. The wearer can also gain safe and sturdy ground high above a battlefield, useful for targeting enemies from afar.
