The Elevating shoes, also known as the Shoes of happiness and Luck shoes are a recurring accessory in the Dragon Quest series. They became a piece of footwear when shoes and boots became a separate equipment slot. In most games in the series, they grant 1 exp for each step the wearer takes on fields with enemy monsters present, but in Dragon Quest IX, this was changed to a 5% exp bonus at the end of each battle.
