Some time ago my DM gave me these magic boots as a reward:
"Boots of Independence: When you remove these boots and fail to restrain them (put them in a pack, etc) they will walk back the way they came, all the way back to where you first put them on, with more-or-less the same cadence and sounds. If you walked in a loop somewhere along the line, the boots will get stuck in the loop and repeat."
I raked my brain trying to think of a way to make them useful but never ended up using them and eventually forgot about them completely. I just rediscovered the boots in my old character sheet and wanted to see what people here thought. How would you rate them out of ten for fun and how would you rate them for potential usefulness? Also how would you use them?
The best I can think of is using the noise of footsteps as a distraction but my character already had minor illusion as a cantrip. Another possibility is retracing your footsteps if you ever get lost.
