As a bonus action, you can deploy or retract magical wheels from the shoes. While deployed, you gain the following benefits:

• Your walking speed increases by 10 feet
• You ignore non-magical difficult terrain
• You can move across liquid surfaces as if under the effects of water walk, but only while you are moving and only on your turn.

If you end your turn on a surface you couldn't normally stand on, you fall as normal.

 

If you remove the shoes, these benefits end immediately.
