Water walking boots are boots that allow the wearer to walk on water. They can also be used to cross lava, though this will destroy them if they are not fireproof.
Unlike levitation, water-walking allows you to #dip items into water squares, so it is useful for blanking scrolls and spellbooks, and diluting potions.
They allow you to walk on top of water, but will not protect you against drowning attacks and do not permit free movement on the Plane of Water.
A guaranteed pair of water walking boots can be found in Vlad's Tower.
Identification
Water walking boots are non-trivial to identify, as they don't display a message when worn and have no obvious effects. If you can price-ID the boots, you can ID water walking by elimination, as speed boots and jumping boots are easy to identify.
If you can't price-ID, the simplest way to test for water walking is simply to step onto water. If you guess wrong, you can climb out again unless you're too heavily encumbered. Make sure to remove and drop any scrolls, spellbooks, potions, and iron equipment first.
A safer, although more difficult, option is to use teleport control to attempt to teleport onto a water square. If you have water walking, you'll end up standing safely on top of the water; if not, you'll be sent elsewhere in the level.
