Slick shoes bugged or poorly worded?
It doesn’t give swiftness.
It makes you run at +100% and ignores frost\cripple.
Outside of combat this isn’t very noticeable. Once you start fighting something; use it to run away to get a really big lead before activating swiftness or use it to catch up to a kiter.

his point is that it’s not 100% as the tooltip says. He’s not saying it gives swiftness, he’s asking why it’s not faster than when he uses swiftness…
I can’t confirm if it is less than 100% or not, will try to test this but have no idea at this point.

First test: out of combat I run the same distance with 5 seconds of swiftness as I do with 5 seconds of Slick shoes toolbelt.
So out of combat it’s not faster than that 33% of swiftness, or at least not by any noticable margin.
I end up at the same spot wih each run, either on swiftness or on the slick shoes.
And they don’t stack, which wasn’t expected as no speed buffs stack.
second test: in combat I seem to get slightly further with slick shoes than with swiftness.
Still: it’s not double or anywhere near that, it’s like 1/5 further at best… and even than.

speed is capped at 133% with 100% = out of combat speed.
Good thing about slick shoes is, it will get you up to that cap even when chilled :p

Just to clarify.
When you’re moving, that’s not running which means you have 0% running speed.
Any increase in movement speed is a running speed.
With swiftness, you are running at 33% running speed = 133% movement speed.
Normal running speed is from passives like Signet of Shadows at 25%.
So you double that running speed, you get 50%.
So comparing swiftness with Slickshoes belt tool, will not give you a noticeable difference.

this is it I guess.
Cap at 133% and the usefullness of the shoes lies in negating slow effects.
For this the shoes have a too long cooldown, but that’s a general gadget issue of course.

If you are in combat Super Speed will be faster than Swiftness, in combat
out of combat Super Speed and Swiftness are the same.
Super Speed ignores light CC.
It is meant to be used in combat, not as a distance running tool.
The Tooltip is just horrible, as is most tooltips.

I dont think the skill is useful either way. The stun breaker cd is little too high for the gigantic con. If the cd half, then I would definitely consider using it.
