It takes a character trained in both Craft (cobbling) and Craft (weaponsmithing) to make blade boots. The Craft DC is 20 to refit an existing boot with a blade, or 11 to make a new pair. Refitting a boot takes about a day of work, if the blade and materials are on hand, or a week if they must be fashioned from scratch. Making a new pair of blade boots requires about a week. - Forgoten Realms Campaign Setting Book
Someone on my Youtube channel commented that I should have included a 10 ft pole and so I am adding it here. This works best if the pole is retractable and the thief using it is great at acrobatics/athletics.
