The Boots are available in every game of the series other than Gaiden, the Jugdral games, and Three Houses. The Jugdral games have a different item with the same purpose, the Leg Ring, and Three Houses likewise has an item called Shoes of the Wind which functions just like the Boots.
The Fates version of the Boots, along with the Dragon Herbs, are the first permanent stat-boosting items to boost a stat by only 1 point.
The Boots are one of two permanent stat-boosting items in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia not to debut in that game, the other being the Talisman.
Both items in question are also the only permanent stat-boosting items in Shadows of Valentia that are not provisions with a secondary fatigue-related effect.
