Boots of Speed were basic movement items in League of Legends that provided 25 movement speed for 300 gold. They served as the foundation for all advanced boot items in the game before being removed in patch V10.23.

As a starter item, Boots of Speed were particularly valuable for:

• Champions requiring high mobility
• Mid lane players needing to dodge skillshots
• Building into advanced boot options

Key Features:

• Cost: 300 gold
• Movement Speed: +25
• Limited to one pair of boots per champion

Notable Changes Through Patches:

• Movement speed reduced from 50 to 25
• Cost adjustments from 350 to 300 gold
