A couple highlights for things in this range to improve your combat skills: +2 to any stat (actually only 4,000 gp) +1 comp to Archery Attack Rolls +1 to AC +1 to Fist Attack and Damage Rolls Its also good for some magical attacks like: -1 8d6 fireball, 2 6d6 fireballs, 2 4d6 fireballs, 4 2d6 fireballs -3d8 ranged touch attack 1/day -the weak equivelant to Summon Nature's Ally IV 10/week -Gust of Wind 2/day And of course utility effects: - +3 to Charisma Checks - Continuous Comprehend Languages and Read Magic w/ +5 to Decipher Script - +5 to Swim and +5 to Climb - +4 to Open Locks and +6 to Escape Artist And some mobility effects: -Spider Climb 10 min/day -+10 enhancement to Speed and +5 Jump (though speed enhancement turns it to +9 total jump bonus) -Ability for mounts to cross water or other horizontal surfaces without touching them Taking that all in stride you could also afford a suit of Adamantine Light Armor, an Adamantine Weapon +1, a suit of Mithral Medium Armor +1, or a double-headed weapon with +1 on either side. With that in mind, assuming your armor and weapons are covered, the boots are still an awesome buy. They provide a continuous bonus in addition to a large skill bonus. Compare it to a +1 Insight bonus to AC and I think you'll say youd rather have +10 speed (even without the jump bonus).
