This footgear bestows many powers upon the wearer. First, he is able to travel across snow at normal rate of movement, leaving no tracks. The boots also enable the wearer to travel at half normal movement rate across the most slippery ice (horizontal surfaces only, not vertical or sharply slanted ones) without falling or slipping. Boots of the north warm the wearer, so that even in a temperature as low as -50 degrees F., he is comfortable with only scant clothing—a loin of cloth and cloak, for instance. If the wearer of the boots is fully dressed in cold-weather clothing, he can withstand temperatures as low as -100 degrees F.

This footgear bestows many powers upon the wearer. First, the character is able to travel across snow at normal rate of movement, leaving no tracks. The boots also enable the wearer to travel at half normal movement rate across the most slippery ice (horizontal surfaces only, not vertical or sharply slanted ones) without falling or slipping. Boots of the north warm the wearer, so that even in a temperature as low as -50 °F is comfortable with only scant clothing-a loin cloth and cloak, for instance. If the wearer of the boots is fully dressed in cold-weather clothing, temperatures as low as -100 °F have no effect.
In a Dragonlance Campaign: On Ansalon, of course, boots of the north are called boots of the south.
