Hermes Boots

Hermes Boots is an accessory that can be found as loot from underground chests.

These boots increase the maximum running speed of the wearer. However, the acceleration to reach the new max speed when running is slow, taking 2 seconds to reach top speed from a standing position. Movement speed of the player is conserved; jumping while running will not interrupt the forward movement of the player. The top speed from Hermes Boots can be reached quickly with the use of the Grappling Hook. Hermes Boots do not stack with the set bonus of Necro Armor and equipping the armor will have no additional speed benefits over what the boots already provide.

Here is a demonstration of that technique:
