Jumping boots are boots allowing the wearer to jump.
Some players prefer them to speed boots in an ascension kit, as the common potion of speed can give temporary very fast speed. The boots are especially useful to those who ride a steed that is already quick (like warhorse or ki-rin) but also want the ability to jump.
Cursed jumping boots will still allow you to jump but cannot be unequipped and will likely carry an AC penalty.
In the diagram below, any of the squares marked x can be jumped to with jumping boots.
