Won't I get to kill more stuff per turn that way? Don't I get to trample a smaller enemy as long as I have MP left over? With a sword, I can only make one attack per turn, but with boots, don't I get to trample a bunch of little guys and then smash them with my sword? I mean: for very little investment (boots), won't I be gaining a large array of choices -- turning a very robust individual which would normally do well against a small number of large or robust troops but would be relatively ineffective vs. a large number of small, cheap troops into a unit which could do well vs. both?
In other words: To your question "why?", I ask: "Why not?" What is the drawback to trample, what do I lose?

Well, Executor's answer is pretty succinct, but I'll try to give a gentler version of it.
MP: you have to make pretty close to optimum choices. The level of competition is much stiffer than SP.
Yes, you can use BOB boots. Unfortunately to make it really work you then need at the minimum an amulet of resilience and probably an earth bless.
So thats 15 gems, and two commander actions and two slots on your melqart.
In the end, the games are usually decided by mages and SC's not armies. So the ability to kill lots of army men is less important than having a MR in the 28's, and a protection in the 25+s.
So the long answer is - yes you can. But then you'll have to take extra actions to equipment him for the late game.
So if you are taking non optimum actions while your opponents are not - you're at a disadvantage.
