Description
While worn, a pair of heeled boots grants 0 base AC, 2 base DR. Wearing or removing a pair of heeled boots takes two actions. Kicking with a pair of heeled boots adds 1d2 damage versus small and 1d6 versus large to the kick's total damage, bypassing the usual kick resistance of thick-skinned monsters.
Encyclopedia entry
In Fantasyland these are remarkable in that they seldom or
never wear out and are suitable for riding or walking in
without the need of Socks. Boots never pinch, rub, or get
stones in them; nor do nails stick upwards into the feet from
the soles. They are customarily mid-calf length or knee-high,
slip on and off easily and never smell of feet. Unfortunately,
the formula for making this splendid footwear is a closely
guarded secret, possibly derived from nonhumans (see Dwarfs,
Elves, and Gnomes).
