Chi shoes? The ones that give Kick? The Sandals of the Crane blink but they're an Artifact.
I'd assume you just meant Winged Shoes, I wonder how effective that would be.
I wonder if a high movement cavalry unit with Stymphalian Wings would do better, getting more hops/turn so you need less of them?
I don't know though, it seems like a bit of a stretch. I mean, talking about not only a sizable investment of gems into a totally nonstandard tactic that you'd never use for anything but warding off MoD, but these guys actually have no other use at all.
