    I normally do Mod-Q for boots unless I have Portal Key, Shrunken Head, Void Talisman, or something else like that. Then boots get moved to Mod-E (if I only have one active item) or Mod-S (if I have two, ie Key and Shrunk). Bottle is always Mod-W if I get one, and passives go on the bottom row.

    my number 1 thing i have to use with a hotkey i put in slot one, everything else is fairgame for the slots, i don't have that many hotkeys

    2 for active boots (Posthaste and Enh Marchers) and 1 for passive boots (Marchers and Steamboots). If I have passive boots, Homecoming stones get slot 2. If I have Enh Marchers, Homecoming stones get slot 3 unless I have Totem of Kuldra, Astrolabe/Barrier Idol or Shrunken Head, in which case they get slot 5.

    I'm really OCD about where my items go. Having 2 out of these 3: Totem of Kuldra, Astrolabe or Barrier idol drives me insane, because I can't have both in slot 3 at the same time.

    PS: I don't have a keybinding on slot 1, so that's always where my passive items go. If I have 2 passive items, the second one goes in 6 because it's keybinding is the hardest. I never have 6 active items. I try to avoid having more than 4, but sometimes I end up with 5.

    I like to have it in alt e as it is easier to reach than alt q on my keyboard. I never use the alt asd if I can help it. I also keybind the items to the 123456 keys above.

    I have my inventory binded to 123456 and I always put boots in slot 3 and other "use" items in 2 or 4.

    It doesn't matter what slot you put them in, but I find it interesting to know what other people do with their boots.
