Climbing boots are easily the least effective entry on this list. Fast mantling is nice, but it’s a niche situation that you won’t find yourself in often. A fall damage reduction does little to sell me on the Climbing boots, either.
These benefits are too specific for general use. With how strong the other options are, the Climbing boots are a hard sell.
