The Hover Boots appear as regular leather boots, albeit with a pale yellow brim along the bottom. What makes them truly unique becomes apparent so long as the pair is worn. The wearer's feet will be hovered above the ground on a tiny cushion of air. As a result, the wearer have greatly reduced traction, and slide around in a manner similar to traversing a floor of ice. The boots coincidentally enable walking safely over otherwise dangerous hazards, such as moving floors or pits of spikes. With practice, the boots can be used in a fashion somewhat similar to ice skates--effectively trading precision of trajectory for speed. A wearer who is familiar with these boots may be able to turn off the hovering effect at will, enabling the hover boots to be immediately switched into normally-functioning boots, or vise versa.

The boots have the secondary effect. When the user completely leaves the ground and becomes airborne, the boots enable the wearer to hover in mid-air a few seconds. After this brief period of hovering ends, the user drops out of the air normally.

Trivia
