The Importance of Boots in Metin2
Boots are often underestimated by players — yet they are a vital part of any build. The decisive advantage of boots lies in movement speed: a character who moves faster can dodge enemies, kite them, reposition quickly, and play more efficiently overall. In PvP, a speed advantage of just a few points can be the difference between victory and defeat.
Beyond that, boots provide defence values and HP bonuses that make your character more resilient. A well-chosen pair of boots rounds off the complete equipment set and fills any stat gaps that other pieces leave behind.
Boot Bonuses at a Glance
| Bonus Type | Description | Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Movement Speed | Increases the character's running speed | Very high for mobile classes |
| Physical Defence | Reduces incoming physical damage | High for tanks and melee fighters |
| Maximum HP | Increased health pool | Medium to high, all classes |
| Evasion | Chance to completely avoid attacks | High for Ninja and agile builds |
| Magic Resistance | Reduces incoming magic damage | Situational, relevant in PvP |
Boot Level Progression
Like all pieces of equipment, boots are available across level ranges. As your character's level grows, you should upgrade your boots to keep pace:
- Level 1–25: Simple boots from the starter area
- Level 25–50: Leather boots and light ankle boots with initial bonuses
- Level 50–75: Hardened boots with solid defence and movement values
- Level 75–95: High-quality boots with combined bonuses
- Level 95+: Endgame boots with maximum benefit
Best Boots for Endgame
In the endgame, boots with optimal stat combinations are in high demand. The finest examples combine movement speed with either evasion (for mobile classes) or high defence (for tanks). Endgame boots obtained from dungeon drops or the Snake Temple are among the most valuable pieces of footwear in the game.
Players looking to squeeze out every last bit of performance should pair good boots with the enhancement system and alchemy stones to push their stats even further.
Class-Specific Recommendations
Ninja — Movement Is Everything
The Ninja lives by its mobility. Boots with high movement speed are practically essential for this class. Bow Ninjas use the speed to maintain distance from enemies, while Dagger Ninjas combine swift boots with evasion for maximum survivability in melee combat.
Warrior — Defence Counts
Tank Warriors prioritise boots with high physical defence and HP. DPS Warriors can opt for slightly more offensive boots, but still need enough defence to absorb hits. Movement speed is less critical for Warriors, though it remains a welcome bonus all the same.
Shaman — Balance Is Key
Shamans need a balanced approach to boots: some movement speed to sidestep enemies, plus defence for survivability. HP bonuses are also welcome, as Shamans frequently draw hostile attention in group play.
Sura and Lycan
Suras benefit from either offensive or defensive boots depending on their build. Lycans — much like Ninjas — greatly value movement speed, since they want to fight even faster and more aggressively when in werewolf form.

Where can I get good boots?
Boots drop from monsters and bosses. The player market usually has decent examples available at fair prices.
