+Jumping boots are typically not sought out early in the game, though they can still be useful for unburdened characters as a means of escaping certain monsters - [[Knight]]s can use them to extend their existing jumping range.

 Jumping boots feature more often in the late game, usually as part of an [[ascension kit]]: a character can stock up on turns of very fast speed from {{! of|speed}} potions and the [[spell of haste self]], then wear jumping boots to move even faster through levels. It is not uncommon for such characters to jump their way through the [[Astral Plane]] in regular play or during real-time or turn-count [[speed ascension]]s, using wands of {{wand of|teleportation}} to clear away the crowd of monsters (except for the [[Riders]]).

-Jumping boots are somewhat trivial to identify compared to other boots that share the same base cost of 50[[zm]]: [[speed boots]] auto-identify themselves, and you can test for jumping boots or [[water walking boots]] after confirming their beatitude by attempting to jump while wearing them (e.g. using the #jump [[extended command]]). If you are told "you can't jump very far", then the boots are not jumping boots.
