Golden Boots

The Golden Boots are Boots available in Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

Basic Description
The Golden Boots increase the wearer's Defense by 15 and Agility by 30. They can be bought for 4400 coins and sold for 3300 coins.

Like the other "golden items" (the Golden Ring and Golden Shirt), the Golden Boots are only available to players who meet certain requirements in Golden Sun and then transfer their data to The Lost Age. In order to make the boots available, all the player must do is talk to the mayor of Vault after the thieves escape. In The Lost Age, when leaving Madra after receiving the Cyclone Chip, the criminals appear and attack Felix's party, having overheard Karst mention Isaac.

Upon defeat, the thieves offer the Golden Boots as a sort of peace offering. If the player somehow manages to lose to them, a unique cutscene will play in which Felix lies on the ground in front of the thieves, and the trio wonder if they have gotten stronger and tell Kraden to let Isaac know that they are "repaying the favor." The player will respawn in the sanctum, and the encounter will no longer take place once you leave Madra, essentially making the Golden Boots permanently lost.

Analysis
The Golden Boots are essentially an improved version of the Quick Boots, offering far greater defensive capabilities, and are an excellent fit for any Adept that needs a speed boost. But since there is only one pair of Golden Boots to work with (unless they are duplicated via the Trial Road glitch), it is important to choose carefully who to equip them to.
