Iron Boots

Iron boots are a variant of boots that are crafted from iron ingots. They are the third-highest tier of boots, having higher armor points than leather, golden, copper, and chainmail boots.

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays, and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include iron boots. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with 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 ominous trial spawner. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

In Bedrock Edition, vindicators and pillagers spawning in raids have a 4.16% chance (5.128% on hard difficulty) to drop iron boots. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being enchanted with a random enchantment.
