Have you ever thought to yourself, "Self, why can't I have more boots? Frostsparks are good, and lava waders are okay, but I need more!"
Say no more! This suggestion adds a few boots to the game that eventually culminate in a third set of "Final boots" focused around combat.
First of all, some new accessories:
These new accessories are useless on their own. Let's fix that with some tinkers!
After all that comes the pinnacle of this suggestion: Destruction Boots
Basically with the destroyer boots you sacrifice the jet boots and extra speed from the Frostspark boots to gain some nifty utility and combat effects.
So that's all! Feedback is appreciated. Tell me if you think it needs a nerf or a buff. As always, people are welcome to try to sprite these if they want.

Say no more! This suggestion adds a few boots to the game that eventually culminate in a third set of "Final boots" focused around combat.
First of all, some new accessories:
-Weighted boots
Accessory
Press down to fall faster
Found in gold chests (fairly rare)
These boots let you fall about 1.5x faster, for quicker travel down from sky islands or into the underworld. They also proportionately increase fall damage with the falling speed, but there are numerous ways to negate that.
-Gravity globe (now obtainable)
Accessory
Press up to flip gravity
Crafted with 1 crystal ball, 20 souls of flight, and 10 sun plate blocks @ a HM anvil.
Gravity can only be flipped for 7 seconds, after which it will unflip and inflict "Motion sickness" for 7 seconds
-Motion sickness
Debuff
Prevents you from flipping gravity unless a gravity potion is active.
Hopefully that will balance the gravity globe, which is currently much better than wings in terms of "flight" time, which is probably why it is unobtainable.
- Pegasus shoes
Accessory
Wearer can run super fast
Cancels fall damage
Dashing into enemies will deal damage
Crafted with Hermes boots, Lucky horseshoe and 5 Unicorn horns @ a HM anvil
These boots will deal damage equal to your armor multiplied by any movement speed bonuses when you run into an enemy while Hermes dashing. You will also not take contact damage from enemies while Hermes dashing, but you can still take knockback.

-Headstompers
Accessory
Press down to fall faster
Lets you slide down walls
Deals damage to things you jump on
Crafted with shoe spikes and weighted boots @ Tinker's workshop
These boots will pop out nifty little spikes from your soles once you have fallen far enough to take fall damage. They will deal damage to enemies you land on equal to your fall damage for a maximum of 250. If you manage to land on something and deal damage, it will cancel your own fall damage (as well as contact damage from the enemy), so you don't kill yourself trying to stomp your enemies. (Fun fact: Falling faster using down will let you build up fall damage quicker. Handy!)
- Gravity boots
Accessory
Combines effects of Gravity globe and Headstompers
Crafted with Gravity globe and Headstompers @ Tinker's workbench.
-Assassin slippers
Accessory
Combines effect of Tabi and Pegasus shoes
Crafted with Tabi and Pegasus shoes @ a Tinker's workbench
Using a Tabi dash should be enough to activate the Pegasus boots' damaging dash.

Canceled fall damage
Slide on walls
Dash into enemies to deal damage
Fall onto enemies to deal damage
Double tap left or right to Tabi dash
