Iron Boots Location

Blacksmiths and general goods merchants sell them from level 1. Chests and other random loot often hold a pair, and bandits wear them.

Gameplay Tips

Temper them at a workbench with one Iron Ingot.
From the start of the game, any forge makes them from 3 Iron Ingots and 2 Leather Strips.
Four matching Iron pieces count as a matched set for the Matching Set perk, which adds 25% armor.
