Water Walking Boots are an accessory that allows a player to walk on water and honey. The player moves across both liquids at normal speed without sinking. They are found in Water Chests, though they are much rarer compared to other Water Chest items. They do not allow walking on lava (although the upgraded Lava Waders will do so). When the player is on a liquid, they may press down to fall through the liquid, similar to a platform. On the Desktop version, Console version, Mobile version, and Nintendo Switch version, there is a 9.09*1/11 (9.09%) chance to find Water Walking Boots in Ocean and Seaside Crates.
Walking on a liquid requires a stable surface, indicated by the bright line on the surface. Moving liquid cannot be walked on and will be fallen through normally.
Landing on the surface of water or honey with these equipped will not cause fall damage.
If the player grapples something below them while they are standing on water, they will be pulled in.
Riding a land mount while having the Water Walking Boots or any of its upgrades equipped will transfer its abilities to the mount (e.g. the Blessed Apple mount will walk on water, while the Shrimpy Truffle mount will not).
Using an Obsidian Skin Potion while having the Water Walking Boots equipped allows walking on lava.
