These sturdy boots were created by an artificer who lived high up on a remote mountain peak, as protection against the mountain's near-constant avalanches, rockslides, and snowstorms. No force short of translocations magic will budge the wearer from their position.

The +3 mountain boots

Prevents shafts and involuntary movement (such as trample or wind blast).
No effect on translocative effects (e.g. dispersal).

Desirability

The mountain boots prevents one of the most deadly effects in the game, shafts, and automatically rises to one of the best foot-slot items in the game. Even as just a +3 boots with rCold, it protects more than any non-artefact boots. The ability to stair dance in the face of enemies like rockslimes is a very welcome bonus.
