There hasn't been any update what so ever since the removal of them other than you said you'll bring them back "soon". I made a thread nearly 7 months ago asking for a reply and still didn't get one
(http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/sHpAQWwL-boot-enchantments)
so I figured maybe I'll try to ask again. What are the current plans with tier 3 boots? Are you planning on reinstating them soon? Or are they scrapped idea at this point.
Chaos Milk Tea10 votesLow priority I'm guessing. Its probably hard to come up with new boots enchant that don't either straight up creep mobility, damage, or defense. They'll have to come up with some combination of offense/defense/utility effects that balance each other out because they said they were pleased to reduce the mobility creep before.
PLEASE MAKE ONE OF THE ENCHANTS DROP WARDS OR GIVE VISION. HNNNNNNG.
500000000000000014 votesHaving active effect on boots would be pretty cool. Although, that basically means supports now have another spell to manage.
Kingnewgameplus2 votesNaw, they can juggle a 430th active item.
Omen461 votesI'm up to the challenge!
Nickssaa2 votesNah. The problem is that actives on boots is a dota thing, and we can't have dota things in league
Pailidin3 votesHow about one of the enchantments gives you the ability to store control wards? That way you can still use them when you're inventory is full.
Glory ln Death5 votesThat... is an excellent idea! They don't have to add an entire new slot just for it, it won't get purchased until mid-late game usually, and there would be other enchantments competing with it!
I'd imagine you would have to actually purchase the ward each time you wanted one, so it isn't just a free ward like from the trinkets or Sightstone.
Häßlich2 votesIf the ward were refillable, it would probably cost like 350g or so for the upgrade, so your 5th ward becomes "efficient."
Häßlich8 votesI'd really like it if boot enchants were more about being a complete 6th item. Just a few ideas, without consideration for gold cost:
Those would be the direct stats options. Adding unique effects of other items might be okay instead if they were core effects so you had more build flexibility:
)
)
passive... not sure it has a name. Spellburn?
)
)
)
)The important thing to note here is that unique passives don't stack, so these are weaker alternative versions of those effects. The item where those effects' identity comes from would always be the strongest variant of them. Also, I'm not saying to get a stat AND an effect, unless they want to do it as a T3 boots is a stat choice and T4 is an effect choice (each requiring a separate upgrade).
Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I prefer more options over trying to theorycraft the "most optimal" choice and assuming it's correct for every match (which is usually not the case).
Faustavian4 votes...Boots are primarily for Movespeed.. the other effects on it are just bonuses.
Skins Project3 votesI think he means more as a last item. I find if it get's really late into the game boots tend to be a poor choice and can be opted out for a full core item. He wants some value to be put into the boots so they don't fall off the moment builds are nearly full.
Glory ln Death2 votesOooooohhhhh! A cleanse active on boots would be really nice! Mages and tanks would certainly appreciate that, since they can't really utilize the AD items cleanse is limited to.

I think they added one more choice when going full build.
We need more choice!
i approve of boot enchantments coming back.
bring back triple elixir stacking
Häßlich1 votesFunny, I'm in the majority on that poll. =)
Sckullzz4 votesLast I read they aren't bringing them back, which I'm really ok with. Triforce and Black Cleaver already have movement buff passives. Making all champs have access to that was not good.
Dank N Plank3 votesI think they should make them actual "boots" first, not just one shoe.
h5LYF41Lam2 votesi miss homeguard,the others not that much
Faustavian3 votesI missed distortion tbh.
Low cool down 
was super fun to zoom around.
Takito1 votesTechnically distorsion is now on ionan (cdr on SS).
Now that we think about it, furor could be trinity and black cleaver passive, homeguard is still there after 20 minutes and captain....on mordekaiser w? [slayer-jinx-catface]
Muzét1 votesJanna's Passive. Miss 
with the Captain enchant.
Takito1 votesOh and the last one alacrity, but boots give more movement speed than before if i remember correctly so it's already in every single boots you could buy!
Muzét1 votesNa they didn't increase the MS. They deleted enchantments and that's it
Takito1 votesMaybe not after the removal of the enchantments, but i clearly remember the ms on boots being either nerfed or buffed. Think it was a buff of around 20-30 ms on boots+1 if I remember correctly.
Muzét1 votesNa. Maybe if you played like waaaaaaaaaay before the global MS buff to every single champions yeah. But they didn't buff after the enchantments removal.
Takito2 votesLike I said, maybe not after the removal, but they did it.
After a while, you can't really remembers in which order things happened (except Force of nature getting deleted before Heart of Gold RIP both).
And yeah, I think early season 1 is early enough to have seen those things hahaha
Muzét1 votesBut that was before the removal way before and that was a nerf anyway because at that time they buffed the global MS.
Like the reduce range of Flash and stuff x)
Takito1 votesLike I said, i did not know if it was before or after the removal, i did not know if it was a buff or a nerf either, i just knew they did something to the boots once hahaha
Faustavian1 votesIIRC distortion increased the effects of mobile summoner spells as well. Gave a MS boost to 
, A short MS bonus to 
and a huge bonus % on which I loved.
Takito1 votesI know right, that's why i said 'technically' [slayer-jinx-wink]
Dolasaur2 votesHuh? I don't remember Riot saying they'd bring them back soon. What I remember was them saying that they largely devolved into a solved system that both a) was boring and b) contributed to an unwanted overall increase in movement speed. They certainly could add enchants for boots or other items in some way. But to me, it didn't sound like they had any plans of reinstating them in the forseeable future.
AmazoX2 votesThey added three cloud drakes though & gave us free home-guard at the ff @ 20 minute mark.
Häßlich1 votesDrakes are random, so not useful when talking about the viability or reliability of movespeed effects in the game.
deadlychuck2 votesNope, made it too hard for riot to directly control which champions were top tier and which weren't.
Closing the mobility gap kinda fucks up their whole system they've got going.
SwiftKitten881 votesNope, made it too hard for riot to directly control which champions were top tier and which weren't.
Closing the mobility gap kinda fucks up their whole system they've got going.
this... champs like 
getting t3 boots early made him stupid op,
i can see t3 boots returning of there was some kind of "level restriction" like has maybe like lvl 11 or lvl 16.
but unless they have some kind of restriction i don't see how they can be balanced if they still give extra move speed.
if they DON'T give extra move speed it would be AMAZING to have boots give another effect, but cloud dragon is a much more balanced approach to the extra movespeed than t3 boots were
xxxDogmanxxx2 votesI miss Captain. That was so good in organized gameplay.
TeCoolMage2 votesI wonder what would happen if they made 3rd upgrade boots gold inefficient but upgrades to stats that are so good they make it worth the 6th slot super late. No components to make it easy (sort of like a last item powerspike), basic boots nerfed so they're not required and 6 no boots item builds are possible from the very start.
For example: 20 MS boots of speed (250)
-> negatron cloak (720) +230g = 30 MS 45 MR mercury treads (no tenacity) -> +1400g = 45 MS 45 MR 35% Tenacity upgraded mercury treads
-> blasting wand (850) + 100g = 30 MS 40 AP -> +1400g = 45 MS 40 AP +30% AP (not as efficient as rabadon's.)
OR, an item called the shoehorn that lets boots not take up an item slot.
It just seems weird how everyone becomes super slow at the end of the game.
Though poor cassiopeia...
boo9101 votesive never really messed around with t3 boots
I only consistently bought normal boots around lv 25
what were the t3 enchants?
Canastus1 votesAny further boot upgrades would be an indirect nerf to poor Cassie, though. 
DarkRitual2 votesGive her purchasable upgrades, like GP ult upgrades (using normal gold though).
Canastus1 votesShe could put a ribbon on her tail or something.[slayer-jinx-wink]
Häßlich1 votesI don't really agree. She may not have as much movespeed as most other full builds, but she already gets to build 6 "full" items while not being totally slow, and a couple of those items give MS...
I don't think it would hurt her too much, but if that were a major concern, they could just revert that change to her anyway (which I found super annoying as someone who loves to play her).
Canastus1 votesLichbane is absolutely terrible on Cass, she doesn't have the time to use autoattacks in between her ongoing E-spam. So the passive would be simply wasted. Luden's is rather lackluster on her if there are other items that have a far bigger priority on her shopping list like Morellonomicon, Abyssal/Zhonya's (depending on matchup) and Void Staff - all of that in this order after getting Tear. You'll be sinking tons of gold into her core-build alone, and after that people usually pick up a Deathcap. Why even bother with Luden's at that point?
Games don't even last long enough for her to ever hit a 6 item build, that alone would cost her around 20k (!) gold which is just too extreme.
Häßlich1 votesIf you close your mind to other options, you will be easy to defeat.
I've had plenty of success with both of those items, and it just depends on the match in particular. Like you said, most matches don't last long enough for her to get full built, so that Lichbane is a powerful option during the mid-game, and it helps you shred towers.
Luden's is far less optimal on her, I agree, but during a siege/anti-siege, it can make a big difference during the poke/harass part. If it gives you enough extra burst to force one of them to back, you probably just won that engagement.
The point was that the extra movespeed on them is also very helpful on her since she can't build boots (a stupid fkn change, imo), and I doubt Riot would just leave her behind if they brought back these kinds of boot enchants. She'd probably get compensation buffs in her kit somewhere if they don't revert the boot limitation outright.
