** In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'', Vergil, and later Dante, obtain these as parts of the Beowulf Devil Arm alongside a pair of {{Power Fist}}s. In the ''Special Edition'' of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', Vergil uses the gauntlet-and-greave weapon Beowulf just like how he did back in the third game, but the updated incarnation of Beowulf functions similarly to Dante's Gilgamesh from ''Devil May Cry 4'' in terms of their ChargedAttack mechanics and indicators.
** In ''Devil May Cry 4'', Dante obtains the Gilgamesh, which aside from turning into gauntlets, also covers his legs with organic metal. The spurs in his boots empower his kicks during some {{charged|Attack}} combos.
** In ''Devil May Cry 5'', Dante has Balrog as one of his starting weapons, a Devil Arm that covers both his arms and legs with armor and enhances his punches and kicks with flames. Its "Kick" mode allows him to perform [[DanceBattler sweeping Capoeira-style kicks]].

* Dante in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3'' wields these with his Beowulf weapon, alongside a pair of PowerFist. It returns in the form of Gilgamesh in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' and later Balrog in ''Videogame/DevilMayCry5''.

* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted'': Catwoman's boots are both equipped with blades, which she uses to stab Tobias Whale when he has her trapped in a BearHug. It helps she's flexible so her legs can stab in several placesm such as his shoulders and knees.

* Tsubasa from ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear'' has swords ([[KatanasAreJustBetter especially katanas]]) as her WeaponOfChoice. Apart from attacks involving [[DualWielding dual-wielding swords]], {{flaming sword}}s, [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing swords]], {{BFS}}s and [[RocketPoweredWeapon rocket powered BFSs]], her Gear design has [[MercurysWings vaguely airplane wing-like things coming out of her feet armor]] that, guess what, turn into swords.

* Speaking of rollerblades, pretty much everyone in ''Manga/AirGear'', but Nike takes it UpToEleven by creating ''blades'' on his legs.

* The Bouncer class from ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' wields Jet Boots as one of their main weapons. They're not actual boots per se; they're a bladed attachment to your feet that allow you to DoubleJump, float in midair while casting a Technic, and perform some crazy acrobatic kicking while dropping a buff or two at the same time.

* The ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' setting has blade boots as a weapon (think ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', above). The boots can be used to attack, in exchange for not being able to run with the blade extended.

** Rosa Klebb in ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' has poison blades hidden in her shoes.

* ''ComicBook/NewGods'': * Stompa of the Female Furies wears anti-matter boots that she uses to crush her opponents and which [[ShockwaveStomp can create tremors or earthquakes by stomping on the ground]].

* The world of ''Fanfic/TheSecretReturnOfAlexMack'' contains a Buffy who never became a vampire Slayer, and instead is an Olympic-level ice skater. When a four-man snatch squad tries to kidnap her, she lures them onto a rink and gives them a reminder that ice skates are based on blades and sharp points moving at high speed.

* In ''Literature/TheElenium'', queen Ehlana's bodyguard Mirtai has managed to embed daggers into her boots so that only the tips emerge, making them mostly inconspicuous unless she happens to kick someone… especially [[GroinAttack where]] she prefers to kick them. She also had blades built into her leg armor that protruded out when she bent her knee.

* In ''VideoGame/ArcTheLad II'', if you equip the singer Shante with shoes as a weapon, she'll take her high heels off and beat the monsters/terrorists/etc over the head with them. B. Jenet from ''[[VideoGame/FatalFury Garou: Mark of the Wolves]]'' also does this to her opponents as a part of her hidden CounterAttack LimitBreak.

* The signature weapon of ''Manga/IchiTheKiller'' is a special boot with a blade sticking out of the heel. He makes [[{{Gorn}} good use of it]] throughout the story.

* ComicBook/{{X 23}}, Franchise/{{Wolverine}}'s OppositeSexClone, has one of her blades placed in each of her feet, which she uses for lethal kick attacks.

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': James invented jet boots. [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/13p9/ He used them to kick people.]]

* The Takewown class in ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' uses kicks, but they don't use boots as weapons. Only their upgraded version can actually even equip a weapon (Books)

* Shao Jun in ''VideoGame/Assassin'sCreed'' uses a Hidden Blade that projects from her boot rather than the conventional wrist-mounted Hidden Blades. Justified as she is extensively trained in several forms of Chinese martial arts, which place a greater emphasis on the use of leg-based attacks, and was also a concubine favoured for her dancing ability before she became an Assassin, which allows her to take advantage of her natural agility and flexibility. To say she has a lethal kick is not hyperbole.

* Cyborg of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' has a rocket in his feet. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyGx3m1gPZI He even sings about it]] when [[ThemeTuneCameo he makes up his own version of the theme song!]]
