[[Starfleet]]-issue '''jet boots''' are used to propel an individual to heights that he or she would normally have to reach by climbing or using bulky equipment. The boots are of a fairly standard size, with the booster (or perhaps [[thruster]]) in the heel of the boot and most likely propellant fore of the booster. One conclusion of the '''jet boots''' method of propulsion is similar to the [[thruster]]s used on a [[starship]]. '''Jet boots''' are modeled to propel only a certain weight (presumably around 600 pounds, or three [[human]] men) but may be designed for use of heavier [[officer]]s and species. Furthermore, '''jet boots''' are capable of firing the "[[rocket]]s" which expands a great amount of [[fuel]] in a short amount of time, resulting in a very accelerated speed.

Levitation boots

Levitation boots

Levitation boots were used by Starfleet personnel to propel an individual to heights that the user would normally have to reach by climbing or using other equipment. One pair of levitation boots was designed to levitate only the weight of approximately three Humans of average size. The boots were equipped with booster rockets in the heel of the boot. The booster rockets allowed a heavier weight to be carried, and also a more rapid ascent or descent. The boots also allowed the user to hover in the air in angles other than the upright position.

In 2287, Spock used the levitation boots to observe Captain James T. Kirk while making his ascent on El Capitan.

Kirk, Leonard McCoy and Spock also used the boots in an attempt to climb a turboshaft while being pursued by Sybok and his followers on the USS Enterprise-A. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

The boots were named as levitation boots in the script of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. [1]
