Movement Speed

Movement Speed is a standard stat of all characters (both player and NPC) determining horizontal rate of movement. It can be increased by Armors, Boots, Potions, accessory Modifiers, and Asphalt Blocks. It can be impeded by Debuffs from monsters and Honey Blocks. As there is some momentum in the game, faster movement speed does increase horizontal jump distance. The game does cap the players movement speed to 160% of base.

Stacking boots does not increase the benefit from other boots. Only one accessory slot with boots will count. Boots gives the ability to "Run" meaning that after taking a few uninterrupted steps the character will begin to move at significant speeds with a shuffling sound.

Movement speed in no way effects vertical flight or falling.
