Golden boots are a variant of boots crafted from gold ingots. They are the sixth-highest tier of boots, having the same armor points as leather boots but with higher durability and enchantability. Like all golden armor, piglins are attracted to golden boots, and do not attack any player wearing them.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers‌^{[Java Edition only]}, skeletons, strays, bogged, parched, and piglins have a chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include golden boots. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the boots they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Usage

When worn, golden boots provide 1 () armor point.

Piglins

As with other pieces of gold armor, piglins do not attack players wearing golden boots unless provoked or attacked.

Piglins are also attracted towards golden boots on the ground and equip them after inspecting them.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, boots, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.
