Aranea boots are a pair of boots dropped by araxytes. With no requirements to wear, they are currently the best-in-slot boots for one-defence pures and zerkers, due to the tribrid stats they have, possessing a ranged attack bonus between that of mixed hide boots and blessed dragonhide boots, a magic attack bonus equal to that of infinity boots, and a melee strength bonus equal to that of dragon boots.
The boots have a special web-negating mechanic that allows players to pass through webs in various locations without the need of a slash weapon. Additionally, the boots also negate certain special attacks once every 8 ticks (4.8 seconds) from arachnid bosses; when this occurs, a game message will state Your Aranea boots let you avoid the spider-based attack.
The following bosses can have their spider-based attacks negated:

Our reasoning here was to prevent their value plummeting while they're just passively obtained by players chasing the rarer and more high-value uniques. So if you're looking to grab a pair for yourself, get those Slaughter bracelets ready and start splattering loads of little arachnids!"
