The speed boots otoh haste the user permanently (at least until the boots are taken off...)

Boots of Feline +5 against Throw weapons
Boots of Ether brings a form in which you are imune to any weapons for 30 seconds.
Boots of Furtivity +30% Furtive, +15 Hide
The forementioned reply stands. These are only a few example (and less meant to ridicule people by taking an example like boots of resistance). If, the game was about speed, we might as well all wear them and run all over the place. Each boots have their own + when you consider them. This is my second time around in the game and I still see their uses.
And yes, there is no deny that boots of Speed are very powerful, that is a clear statement. But again, when you learn to use what item you find, you learn aspects of the games that are different. The challenge is to take the hard path, not the easy path for me.
