if only they were real then we would be having a party. sadly they arent real, and thats probably why you have never seen or heard of them before now. as far as i know they were part of the 1.10 beta and never made it to the final version. im assuming you got the info from diabloii.net which is a very inconsistent source of information for items(also look at bramble if you want to see misinformation). Battle.net is always good for items if you are looking for anything in particular.

Those boots are so overpowered so there is no question why they were disabled before 1.10's release.

65% run/walk !?
Dual absorb !?
AND tons of defense along with mana

Take out the vold absorb but leave the magic absorb and nerf some other modes.

It would've been an excellent balance to bonemancers.

[luis19]

balance? 75 magic absorb really balances 1k+ magic dmg after pvp penalty.

[Xion-Valkyrie]

yeah, they should be something like 75% magic RESIST or something haha
