Boots

“Shoes that increase movement by 2.”
—In-game description, New Mystery of the Emblem

The Boots, also known as the Leg Ring and the Swiftsole, are a Stat booster that recurs across the Fire Emblem Series. When used, the Boots increase its user's Movement by 2 points. In earlier titles, the Boots increased movement by 4 points instead, making its effect more valuable.

In Fire Emblem Gaiden, the Speed Ring possesses a similar effect to the Boots, boosting movement by five and maxing out its user's Speed.

In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, the Boots are replaced by the Leg Ring. The Leg Ring must be placed in the inventory of any unit for its Movement-boosting effect to take place. In this game, it is intended to be used to enable an infantry unit to keep up and assist the mounted units in battle due to the game's large maps. However, many players instead use it to reinforce the movement advantage of a mounted unit or facilitate the service of a dancer. The Boots are also known as the Leg Ring in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, although this incarnation of the ring is expendable, permanently increasing its user's Movement when used.

In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, the Boots are renamed to the Swiftsoles in the localized version of the game.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, the Boots' equivalent is a potion known as Movement Plus which permanently raises its user's movement by 3.

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, you can get any unit to have 20 movement by hacking in extra boots. You can still use boots after said unit reaches 20 movement, but nothing will happen.

Generally, only one pair of Boots may be acquired in any one given playthrough of the various games (save for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Fire Emblem Fates), a fact that mandates discretion to be exercised before using it.

Boots most benefit the Lord unit or a utility character, such as a Thief or a Dancer. Alternately, slower classes, such as the Ballistician or the Knight/General classes, may benefit from being given the Boots to improve their poor movement range. This option is especially viable in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. The Boots are conversely given to high-movement units in order to reinforce their battle efficiency. This is especially true in Awakening and Fates if you give Boots to a unit with Galeforce.
