Primordial boots are boots that require level 75 Strength and Defence to wear. Primordial boots provide the second highest strength bonus of any pair of boots in game, surpassed only by avernic treads that have primordial boots added to them.

They can be created by using a primordial crystal with a pair of dragon boots. This process cannot be reversed, and requires level 60 in Runecraft and Magic (boosts cannot be used), granting 200 experience in both skills.

When compared to dragon boots, primordial boots grant very similar bonuses, but the upgrade provides +1 additional melee strength bonus and +2 additional attack bonus to all melee styles, as well as an average of +5 additional defence bonus against all melee styles, at the cost of -1 magic attack bonus.
