Building with it

481 uses, extra toughness, knockback resistance and immunity to fire and lava. Netherite boots matter most in the Nether, where a misstep into lava with diamond boots means losing the set entirely, and with netherite it means fishing it back out afterwards.

In practice

The reason netherite boots matter is the walk home. Falling in lava with diamond boots means the set is gone; with netherite the gear sits in the lava waiting, and a fire resistance potion gets it back. That one property has saved more inventories than any enchantment. Boots are the piece that ends up in lava most often, because a bridge failure drops you feet first. Netherite floats there instead of burning, so the loss becomes a recovery, and that alone is worth the ingot before the armour points are counted.
