Slick slippers

Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.

Crafted from the tanned, smooth hide of a Western Skyshark, these slippers are astonishingly comfortable. They lack the protective benefits of a good pair of boots, but they can get their wearers out of almost any bind.

Make all damaging melee attacks trample their wearer backward
Provide immunity to constriction, engulfing, etc.

Desirability

A "freedom of movement" style effect is desirable all through the game, and especially useful in Spider's Nest. The +4 EV is also a welcome bonus. However, Slippery provides a noticeable downside; being forced to move can cause a lot of problems. You can be forced off staircases, you can be forced onto traps, your positioning can be made generally worse, and Ozocubu's Armour will be stripped off your body. Having said that, if you can manage to effectively control where your fights take place and choose to take your fights with your back against a wall, you can potentially ignore the downside at least some of the time.
