Dwarven Stomping Boots (also known as "dwarven-crafted boots") are boots made by and for dwarves! Other races are, of course, free to wear them in an attempt to emulate the glory of a dwarf, but they may not be the perfect fit. Originally created by GMs Jharra and Mindra for 2003's Revel of the Anfelt, they were also sold at Stomp Around at Briarmoon Cove. In 2024, they were updated by GM Xynwen to include an additional tier and messaging and sold at Tok's Rocks'n'Stuff at the Ale Festival.

  * Item must look heavy and sturdy and not contradict being dwarven made
  * Material should be some sort of leather, suede, or other very sturdy material suitable for boots
  * Cannot be lightened below 3 pounds
  * Lining material:  the material lining the boots. Ex: "fuzzy crimson plaid wool."  This should still stick to the sturdy, dwarven theme, so no silks/velvets/delicate materials, but thick, plush fabrics are great
