'''Chainmail boots'''{{fn|Named '''Mail Boots''' in [[Minecraft:Language#Differences between English variants|Canadian English]].}} are an [[Minecraft:Rarity#Uncommon|uncommon]] variant of [[Minecraft:boots]] that cannot be crafted, and are only obtainable through other means such as [[Minecraft:trading]]. They are the fourth-highest [[Minecraft:tier]] of boots, having the same armor points as [[Minecraft:Leather Boots|leather]], [[Minecraft:Golden Boots|golden]], and [[Minecraft:copper boots]] but with higher durability.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Minecraft:Zombie]]s, [[Minecraft:husk]]s, [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s, [[Minecraft:stray]]s, and [[Minecraft:bogged]] have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include chainmail boots. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Minecraft:Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the boots they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an [[Minecraft:ominous trial spawner]]. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and may be [[Minecraft:enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

=== Trading ===
{{Trade sources}}

=== Villager gifts ===
Armorer villagers may give the players with the [[Minecraft:Hero of the Village]] effect chainmail boots.{{only|java}}

== Usage ==
When worn, chainmail boots provide {{armor|1}} [[Minecraft:armor point]].

Chainmail boots can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding [[Minecraft:Iron Ingot|iron ingots]], with each ingot restoring 25% the boots's maximum durability, rounded down. Two chainmail boots can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the boots' [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s.

=== Enchantments ===
Boots can receive the following [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s:
