Campaign: The Lost Mine

These boots are of fine craftmansip with a soft pliable sole.

Only humanoids can wear these boots.

While you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action and click the boots' heels together.
If you do, the boots double your walking speed, and any creature that makes an opportunity attack against you has disadvantage on the attack roll.
If you click your heels together again, you end the effect.
When the boots' property has been used for a total of 10 minutes, the magic ceases to function until you finish a long rest.

While you wear these boots, your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across.
You also have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently.

In addition, while wearing the boots, you can choose to have them leave tracks like those of another kind of humanoid of your size.
