"Choose an otter for running swift over grass and leaf - or over snow. Farewell, I go to find the Sun!" And Legolas was right when it said it, the nature of the Elves allows them to walk lightly over any sort of terrain and run on top of the snow, however deep it may be. These boots are perfect for such adventures, made of light leather and coloured green so as to blend in with the mosses and trees of Mirkwood. No animals were harmed in the making of these boots.
