Boots
Although they give low bonuses, feet are important to protect, and some boots give special bonuses!
Leather Boots
The most basic armor type for the feet. It is the only available feet protection for free players.
Colored Boots
Simple leather boots colored with dyes, obtainable from various clothing shops in runescape (Rellekka, Gnome Stronghold, Canifis, HAM). There are no additional bonuses for these boots.
Boots of Lightness
These have the same stats as leather boots, but their specialty is that they reduce your overall weight by 4kg. Can be obtained in the basement of the Temple Of Ikov. These are quite useful for running or Runecrafting.
Ranger Boots
The best and only boots that a ranger could ever have! Can be obtained from doing Treasure Trails, and are quite expensive.
Wizard Boots
Slightly better than Mystic Boots. Can be obtained from doing Treasure Trails.
Splitbark Greaves
Not exactly the best boots for a mage, but its lowered mage stats has made up for the better protection it provides.
Climbing Boots
Useful for climbing up mountains and hills. It is used for quests such as Desert Treasure, Death Plateau, Troll Stronghold and Troll Romance. It provides slightly better protection from leather boots. It also provides a bit of strength.
Spiked Boots
You cannot wear those boots anywhere else than the Ice Plateau in the Desert Treasure Quest. These stop you from slipping on ice.
Mime Boots
Not particularly useful, more for bragging rights as you can only obtain it from the Mime Stage Random Event.
Desert Boots
These can reflect the desert heat, improving your chances of survival in the Al Kharidian Desert.
Gardening Boots
When worn, these boots allow you to plant crops 1 level ahead of your current level.
Armored Boots
There are many armored boots across runescape, mostly bought from other players or from Slayer monsters. They give a considerable bonus defense, but are heavier than regular type boots.

Other Gear
There are many things that can protect you. Other items can be worn on different parts of your character than can help you.
Amulets
Amulets are particularly useful. The Amulet of Defense is quite good, as well as the amulet of power and glory. However, the Gnome Amulet of Defense, obtained after the Tree Gnome Village Quest, offers very good Defense
Books
Completed Saradomin and Guthix Prayer Books offer a small defensive bonus when worn, which can be useful in some cases. Remember, the Saradomin Book gives more defense than a Guthix Book, while a Zamorak Book does not give any Defense.
Rings
Although not very defensive, rings can be "Defensive" in some ways:
The ring of recoil returns 25% Damage to the attack, which helps in that matter.
The ring of life protects you from death, which defense is meant to do.
Capes
All capes offer a small defense bonus, but the best ones are the God Capes from the Wilderness Mage Arena and the Legend's Cape from the Legend's Guild. There are also Fire Capes which add Defense, Prayer, Strength and Attack bonuses, as well as Obsidian Capes.
Excalibur
The Excalibur Sword, obtainable from the Merlin's Crystal Quest, has a Special Attack which increases your defense temporarily.
Potions & Prayer
There are also Defense Potions which can be made with your Herblore skill to increase your defense for a short while. Prayers will also add to your defense.
Staffs
A great way to level up your Defense while practicing Magic is to use a staff. When you equip your staff, you'll have an option to set a spell or an attack strategy. Most people don't realize it, but even if you choose the Attack or Strength styles, you won't receive experience, although you'll receive Defense experience instead! This works whenever casting spells, and you can use this attack while attacking behind an object or fighting hand-to-hand.
