Footwear

Footwear is one of five Armor slots in Crimson Desert. Like gloves, footwear provides both attack and defense bonuses, making boots a dual-purpose equipment piece. Footwear also frequently grants movement speed bonuses and other secondary effects such as critical hit chance, attack speed, and lightning resistance.

Footwear Overview

Footwear attack values range from 7 to 18, with plate boots generally offering the highest numbers. Defense values range from 0 to 5. Many boots also include movement speed bonuses, making them important for exploration and positioning during combat. Most footwear features two Abyss Core slots.

All Footwear

The following table lists all known footwear pieces. ATK and DEF values are base stats before Refinement upgrades.

Stat Breakdown

Attack

Footwear provides some of the highest attack values among armor slots. The Solas Plate Boots lead with 18 attack, followed by Odeck's Protector Plate Boots at 17. The Carta Plate Boots, Hungering Fang Leather Boots, and several other pairs sit in the 13 to 16 range. The Rabbit Cloth Boots and Ynitium Leather Boots have the lowest attack values at 7 each.

Movement Speed

Movement speed bonuses are common on footwear, with most leather boots granting Movement Speed Lv.1. The Rabbit Cloth Boots stand out with Movement Speed Lv.2, making them the fastest footwear in the game despite offering no defense. This makes them an excellent choice for exploration.

Unique Effects

Several footwear pieces have unique passive effects not found on other armor. The Hungering Fang Leather Boots imbue attacks with Orbs of Lightning and boost stamina regeneration by 2%. The Solas Plate Boots increase spirit regeneration and swim speed. Odeck's Protector Plate Boots and the Hernand Ceremonial Guard Boots both grant flat damage reduction.

Refinement

Footwear with a refinement gauge can be upgraded through 10 levels at the blacksmith in Hernand. Each level increases both the attack and defense stats. Material requirements depend on the boot type: cloth boots need Cloth Pieces and Fleece, leather boots need hides and bones, and plate boots need ores.

Starting Equipment

Two pairs of boots are given to the player as starting equipment:

• Ynitium Leather Boots: Equipped by default as Kliff's starting gear. A solid all-around pair with critical hit chance and lightning resistance.

• Demenissian Elite Uniform Leather Boots: Part of Damiane's loadout. Provides attack speed, movement speed, and lightning resistance alongside the Demenissian Faction Disguise.

Tips

• The Solas Plate Boots have the highest attack of any footwear at 18. Pair them with the Solas Plate Armor for a powerful endgame plate setup.

• Use the Rabbit Cloth Boots for overworld exploration thanks to their Movement Speed Lv.2 bonus. Swap to higher-defense boots before combat.

• The Hungering Fang Leather Boots are among the best boots for aggressive builds, combining 16 attack with critical rate, lightning imbue, and stamina regeneration.

• Odeck's Protector Plate Boots offer the best defensive combination: 17 attack, 5 defense, movement speed, and flat damage reduction.
