About Iron Boots
Iron Boots are the standard metal footwear in Minecraft, giving your character a little extra protection. They provide 2 armor points and have a durability of 195, so they last a while but will eventually need repairs or replacement.
They work like any other armor piece: you can enchant them, repair them with iron ingots at an anvil, and apply armor trims at a smithing table.
How to get Iron Boots
The most straightforward way to get Iron Boots is to craft them with four iron ingots. Put two ingots in the left column and two in the right column, leaving the middle empty. You can also buy them from armorer villagers, and zombies or skeletons that spawn with iron armor may occasionally drop them.
