Imperial Boots are heavy armor boots and part of the Imperial Armor set. They have a base armor rating of 10 and weigh 8. New Imperial Legion recruits receive a pair with their armor.

Armor Enchantment

Any armor enchantment can be placed on an Imperial Boots at an arcane enchanter.

Every armor enchantment is listed under Enchantment Effects.

Imperial Boots Location

Joining the Imperial Legion and asking Beirand in Solitude for heavy armor gives a full set. In Alftand, the adventurer Sulla Trebatius wears the cuirass, boots and bracers of a set.

Gameplay Tips

Temper them at a workbench with one Steel Ingot. The Steel Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
Forge them with the Steel Smithing perk from 2 Steel Ingots, 1 Leather and 2 Leather Strips.
Four Imperial pieces count as a matched set for the Matching Set perk, which adds 25% armor.
