The '''Elevating shoes''', also known as the '''Shoes of happiness''' and '''Luck shoes''' are a recurring accessory in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|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.
