  1. ↑ a b Enchantment probabilities are the same as a level-20 to level-39 enchantment would be on an enchanting table that had no cap at level 30, and that was able to apply treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and where the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.

Mob loot

Zombies, husks, zombie villagers‌[Java Edition only], skeletons, strays, bogged, and parched have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include iron boots. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the boots they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

A zombie wearing iron armor, including boots.

In Bedrock Edition, vindicators and pillagers spawning in raids have a 4.16% chance (5.128% on hard difficulty) to drop iron boots. The dropped boots are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being enchanted with a random enchantment.
