Overview
Leather Boots are pieces of armor in the Armor category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting them, chest loot, and fishing. Leather Boots cannot be stacked, so they take up a full inventory slot each. With a base durability of 65 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, Leather Boots are worth 1 armor point of the 7 a full set of leather armor is worth. With 65 durability, Leather Boots last 65 light hits, or about 22 blows of twelve damage, because a piece loses one point of durability for every four damage in a single hit. At the enchanting table Leather Boots take an enchantability of 15 (level with netherite): gold at 25 does better and chainmail at 12 worse. Of the 2 kinds of generated chest that can hold it, village tannery chests are the best bet at about 32% per chest.
