Normally I'd agree, but compared to enabled items like "Enigma", "BotD" or
"Beast", this footwear looks almost ridiculous. If it were up to me, I'd
enable it, but with nearly impossible drop chances.

Well, "screenshot" on "d2sector" certainly looks like a mediocre Photoshop
job.
Also, interesting thing is, "diabloii.net" has it listed under unique boots

famous for thoroughly checked info, but still...
