Hermes Boots

The Hermes Boots are an Accessory that lets a player run faster after walking continuously in the same direction for about 2 seconds without interruption (interruptions include collision with objects or enemies, but not jumping or falling).

The speed increase equals roughly 30% of normal walking speed, thereby increasing jumping length as well. Hermes Boots can only be acquired from Chests, and cannot be crafted.

If you have either the Demon Wings or Angel Wings equipped in an accessories slot, along with the Hermes Boots, the boots will be able to activate during flight. For example, if the player is standing still on completely flat surface and starts off by flying with the wings in a single, consistent direction, this counts towards the fast-running build-up.

Trivia

 * Hermes in Greek Mythology was the messenger of the Gods and the God of thieves, travelers, sports, and athletics. Since he was a messenger, this required him to run quickly, hence the boot's ability to let the player run extremely fast.Boots_glith.png
 * Another reference to Hermes is that both the boots and Hermes' sandals have wings attached to them.
 * The Hermes boots are also likely a reference to the Pegasus Boots from the Legend of Zelda, which also allow you to dash after charging up. In Greek Mythology, Pegasus was a winged horse who was sired by Perseus, who was said to have borrowed Hermes' sandals.
 * It is also Possible that they may be a reference to kuribo's shoe from the Game Super Mario Bros 3.
