These boats enable the wearer to run at the SPEED of a
fast horse, viz. 24” base movement
SPEED.
For every 10 pounds (100 g.p.
equivalent) of weight over 200 pounds, the wearer is slowed 1” in movement,
so a 180 pound human with 60 pounds of gear would move at 20’’
base movement rate, and if a sack of 500 gold pieces were being carried
in addition, the movement rate would be slowed vet another 5”.
For every hour of continuous fast movement, the wearer must rest 1
hour.
No more than 8 hours of continuous fast movement are possible before
the wearer must REST.
Boots of speed give +2 to AC value in combat
situations where movement of this sort is possible.
Note regarding magical footwear.

being indistinguishable from other magic boots
reason2: elven boots, which would probably be boots.soft.low
