Overview
Iron Boots are pieces of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting them, mob drops, trading with villagers, and chest loot. Iron Boots cannot be stacked, so they take up a full inventory slot each. With a base durability of 195 uses, they can be repaired and enchanted.
When enchanted, it can carry 13 different enchantments, including Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection. Worn, Iron Boots are worth 2 armor points of the 15 a full set of iron armor is worth. With 195 durability, Iron Boots last 195 light hits, or about 65 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. Enchantability decides what the table hands back for the same levels, and Iron Boots sit at 9 (level with turtle scute): armadillo scute at 10 does better and copper at 8 worse. Of the 3 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, village weaponsmith chests are the best bet at about 23% per chest.
