    How are you going to carry over the boots from the first game without exploiting?

    How could anyone play this game more than a couple times without exploiting and/or modding to keep it interesting? Also exploit means using a bug that was unintended to your advantage. It has been years since I imported a character with items into the next part in a series of Infinity engine games, but I don;t recall it seeming like a bug that never got fixed.

    there are total of 5 boots at the start of tob. The final member can benefit from the Grandmaster leather armor or the slightly slower amulet of cheetah speed. Or you dont need it if the pc is a monk.

    Frankly, they are not op as other equipments/spells/HLA/kit abilities. They simply make traveling at a faster pace instead of the crawling speed of walking.

    I often just have the boots in my pack, before a number of them become available. Otherwise they become "boots of running into trouble, alone."

    For those to whom adventuring footwear is more than simple utility and aesthetics, I highly recommend Aurora's Shoes and Boots mod. (SOA and TOB)

    I haven't voted on this one. Honestly I'm torn. I use them because the snail's pace of your group drives me batty when playing solo (Though all my MP experience has taught me that unless you have a very disciplined party, the slow pace is better at keeping people out of trouble.) but don't they also increase your attack rate as well as movement speed? They certainly seem to. And in that case, they are perhaps a bit overpowered.

    @Ronin13 - no, boots of speed add the "haste" effect, but they effectively just double your walking speed. No bonus to attack per round whatsoever.

    I believe it's the Icewind Dale's boots of the Fox that increase the speed in every single action of the wearer - and they stack with haste.

    I actually would want more since they are patched now and only give the movement speed.
