The '''crystal boots''' are a type of [[boots]] that appear in [[dNetHack]], [[notnotdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It is a [[Item size (dNetHack)|small]] item that has a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|default material]] of [[glass]], and appears as "boots" when [[unidentified]].

==Generation==
Crystal boots are not randomly generated and cannot be duplicated by any form of smithing, but they can be [[wished]] for or found in [[bones]].

A pair of blessed +0 crystal boots is placed within each of the 8 [[Statue trap|trapped]] [[Shiere Eladrin]] [[statues]] on the last level of the [[Law quest (dNetHack)|Law quest]] during level creation.

Crystal boots can be generated in the [[Special room (dNetHack)#Magic item vault|magic item vaults]] that appear within the [[Avatar of Lolth]]'s lair during level creation if it appears as the second Abyss level.

Male [[Gnome (starting race)#dNetHack|Gnomish]] [[Madpeople]] will find a [[crystal skull]] in their [[Madman#Box|quest box]]. When [[trephination kit|trephinated]], it contains an uncursed tiny +0 pair of diamond crystal boots.

Some monsters can be [[generated with]] crystal boots:
* Tulani Eladrin generated outside of the [[End Game]] have a {{frac|3|4}} chance of being generated with a blessed shatterproof pair of crystal boots.
** After the [[hero]] obtains 1 [[insight]] there is a {{frac|Insight|7}} chance of future Tulani Eladrin that generate to be given special holy equipment: in the [[End Game]], they have a {{frac|4}} chance of being generated with a [[shatterproof]] [[holy]] holy-weapon +3 pair of crystal boots. These have a {{frac|5}} chance of being made of [[gemstone]] (opal, star sapphire or diamond) and a {{frac|5}} chance of being made of [[obsidian]] instead of glass. Tulani Eladrin generated outside of the End Game, after obtaining insight, instead only have a {{frac|20}} chance of receiving this gear.
* Shiere Eladrin are always generated with a pair of blessed shatterproof crystal boots.
* [[Brighid Eladrin]] are always generated with a blessed shatterproof [[Obsidian (material)|obsidian]] pair of crystal boots.
* [[Ancients of ice]] are always generated with a large pair of crystal boots.
* [[Alrunes]] is always generated with a pair of crystal boots.
* The false priest [[lilitu]] in [[Demonweb|Lolth's lair]] is generated with a pair of crystal boots.
* In notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, [[Ymir]] is always generated with a gigantic +7 pair of crystal boots when summoned by an [[Illithanachronounbinder]].

==Description==
While [[worn]], crystal boots grant 1 base [[AC]] and 0 base [[DR]] and take 2 turns to put on or remove. Like other crystal gear, the boots gain a doubled bonus to AC and DR from their [[enchantment]], up to 9 AC and 11 DR at +7. They can also be safely [[Scroll of enchant armor|enchanted]] from +5 to reach +7, similar to [[elven boots]]. Unless made [[shatterproof]], crystal boots are subject to [[fragile|shattering]] when [[thrown]], [[kicked]] or dropped from a height.
