These calf-high boots are made of smooth, supple leather and have pointed toes. They are unadorned except for a pair of shining, silver spurs that seem to leave a tracery of light behind them.

Riding boots react to your mount and correct it when necessary, almost without your guidance. While mounted, you gain a +5 competence bonus on Ride checks made during combat, plus the benefit of the Ride-By Attack feat, even if you lack the prerequisites for it. In addition, if you have the Spirited Charge feat, any charge attacks you make while mounted and wielding a lance deal ×4 damage on a critical hit (instead of the normal ×3).

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Ride-By Attack, cat’s grace.

Cost to Create: 6,000 gp, 480 XP, 12 days.
