Lothander and his boots

Why does Lothander have Boots of Speed in BG:EE? There must be a good reason for introducing another pair of a very over-powered item which tempts you to acquire them?

Oh well...
Charname: "I have a good news and a bad one..."
Lothander: "...the good one?"
Charname: "The geas has been removed, you are free!"
Lothander: "Great!! Here is my part of the antidote, kill Marek for the other half! And the bad one?"
Charname: "I like your boots..."
As they are clearly not unique, why doesn't every thief or warrior who could possibly afford them have a pair?
2. In vanilla SoA+ToB you can get 6 or 7 boots of speed. (I am not sure about the seventh one) My party always have these.
BGII: Full-on Haste spell.
So since we're running the BGII engine now, the Boots of Speed are currently functioning under its BGII form.
But the DnD boots:
"As a free action, the wearer can click her boot heels together, enabling her to act as though affected by a haste spell for up to 10 rounds each day. The duration of the haste effect need not be consecutive rounds."
I think that'd be fine with me too, but perma-haste as per spell is IMO a bit too OP, as you can get exactly 6 pairs. You still have the perma-movement boost, which is for some characters helpful.
and yeah, as it has been already been mentioned, the old BG2 "boots of speed rounds up attacks per round" bug is back, despite being fixed in BG2 fixpack. tsk-tsk-tsk.
also, if you have a half attack and it gets rounded up, that'll also blocks haste from properly affecting your char. (aka, you don't get the extra attack)
Who said you would attack with your hands? If my feet moved faster than my hands I would deal out a good kicking!
Do boots of speed come with toecaps?
Can we just have some steel toecapped boots put into the game? Never go to a kicking or dwarf tossing event without 'em
Probably only availible for Bodhi & the Shadow Thieves from SoA.
*Yawn* ill just kick a bit, oops, nearly fell!
The kick version of a slap?
(and I didnt realize she had pantyhoses on)
When you do swing a sword you don't just use your hand but your entire body. Your footing is in every way just as important as what you do with your hands (maybe even more so) so it isn't that unbelievable that fast feet leads to more attacks per round.
All that said it is MAGIC!!! Try explaining the physics behind a fireball or time stop or WISH?
On another note the boots aren't actually supposed to give you more attacks per round because it didn't in bg1. Having extra attacks per round is extremely powerful especially at such low levels as bg1. That is why the boots shouldn't give more attacks per round. Not because it doesn't make sence.
Are we 100% sure the Paws of the Cheetah actually give +1APR as it stands??
