Movement speed is one of the most crucial stats for every champion in League of Legends.
Whether it’s to get faster to lane, to catch up to an enemy player, or to escape from one, having invested in an item that increases your movement speed is always going to come in handy.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that there are so many different items that also give bonus movement speed percentages passively and/or actively.
And although buying Boots is the first thing that comes to mind when we think about movement speed in LoL, they are not your only hope if you wish your champion to move faster.
Boots
Buying Boots in LoL is just as important as completing your first item.
Depending on your champion and on the enemy team’s comp, you can choose from seven different upgrades for the basic 300g Boots.
Most of these not only offer movement speed increase, but also other bonus stats, such as attack speed, armor, magic resist, etc.
In the following list, you can find all the Boots that increase your movement speed in ascending order.
Item | Movement Speed | Price | Other Stats |

Slightly Magical Boots | 25 (+ 10 Unique Passive) | 0g (Rune) | / |

Items with Permanent Movement Speed Bonus

What items increase movement speed passively?
There are eight legendary items with a permanent movement speed percentage stat.
The difference between these items and Boots is that along with movement speed, they provide your champion with other crucial enhancements.
These can vary between ability power, attack damage, health, or attack speed, making them viable for every champion in the game.
You can choose from the eight items below, depending on the champion you’re playing.

Cosmic Drive: +5% Movement Speed
Cosmic Drive is a legendary item that gives you +65 Ability Power, +30 Ability Haste, +200 Health, and +5% Movement Speed for the price of 3000 gold.
However, attacking an enemy champion with three separate abilities or basic attacks within three seconds increases the movement speed by 15% and the ability power by 40 for five seconds.
This makes Cosmic Drive a very powerful mage item and can be purchased in-game for 3000 gold.
Dead Man’s Plate: +5% Movement Speed
Dead Man’s Plate is an amazing defensive item that also provides movement speed without any further conditions.
Once you buy the item, you get +300 Health and +45 Armor along with the +5% Movement Speed increase.
Another great thing about this item is that your movement speed can increase just by moving around on the map!
With the item’s passive Shipwrecker, you will gain 7 stacks each 0.25 seconds. This means you only need to move for 3.75 seconds to get to 100 stacks, which will give you 40 bonus movement speed!
Basic attacking a champion will however spend these stacks and deal bonus damage in exchange.

At 100 stacks your first basic attack will have a 35% increased range, and deal 120 bonus magic damage!
