Wondrous Item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While you wear these boots, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can use the boots to fly for up to 4 hours, all at once or in several shorter flights, each one using a minimum of 1 minute from the duration. If you are flying when the duration expires, you descend at a rate of 30 feet per round until you land.
The boots regain 2 hours of flying capability for every 12 hours they aren't in use.

I agree, saved!
I've got question about these boots. There is no action required for the boots, that's been established. I think however everyone is overlooking the fact that these boots say while wearing you have a fly speed. indicating that they are always active while wearing. So as soon as you don them your 4hrs starts. In order to stop the timer they must be removed. Both of which take action to put on and action to take off. Am I correct in this assertion?
No, I don't agree.
"You can use the boots to fly for up to 4 hours, all at once or in several shorter flights, each one using a minimum of 1 minute from the duration. If you are flying when the duration expires, you descend at a rate of 30 feet per round until you land."
That language implies you can use these boots, i.e. wear them, and NOT fly.
Can you hover in place while wearing these? Yes, using the timer, just staying in place?

They work by replacing your movement speed, so yes you’d be able to just hover with them
Most likely half speed
327360 Feet is the movement you’d need to do in a single round and I doubt that’s possible as the furthest movement I’ve seen pushed is about 9000 feet a round and that’s with dashing which I believe is well above the speed of light but it would take you a while as the atmosphere is 62 miles above ground. Take 327360 and divide it by 9000 you get 36 which is the the amount of rounds it with take you which are 6 second intervals so I believe it’s about 6 minutes to achieve this IF you can get your speed that insane
Feather Fall:
Winged Boots:
So winged boots don't negate falling damage?
these plus fire ball rip all melee enemies

It's indeed a good idea to compare the descent rate of Winged Boots to that of Feather Fall. It's immediately clear that the Winged Boots provide half the Descent velocity of Feather Fall, but how much that in reality and how does that compare?
Feather Fall: 60 ft/round = 10 ft/s = 3.048 m/s =10.97 km/h
This velocity is reached in a free fall (0 initial vertical speed) after 0.3108 seconds, in which you've traveled 18.65" (47.36 cm), so like knee-height. Landing with Feather Fall is like falling from knee-height. Should not be much of a bother, plus the spell states explicitly that no falling damage will be taken and the creature can land on its feet.
Winged Boots: 30ft/round = 5ft/s = 1.524 m/s = 5.486 km/h
This velocity is reached in a free fall (0 initial vertical speed) after 0.1554 seconds (not surprisingly half that of Feather Fall's case), in which you've traveled a mere 4.662" (11.84 cm), so like twice the length of my pinkie (little finger). It's like hopping around. It's hard to imagine taking falling damage from that.
Isn't there a magic item that let's you breath in any environment?
