was wondering what boots to get for garen. I understand enough to know if heavy AD, get ninja tabi, or if CC or AP heavy, merc treads. But what happens alot is I get snowballing as Garen, get a few early kills (oh so dominant early) and don't have to plan around the enemy team comp as much, or they're balanced. I have been typically getting swiftness boots here, but I'm thinking about cooldown boots. What do you think?

don't get swiftness or ninja tabi, merc treads or cd boots are probably the best choice

Use Movement Speed runes, Greater Quintessences of Swiftness. If you don't have these Boots of Swiftness are a must, so you can keep people in your Judgment.

With the proper rune set:
If they have 3 or more tenacity-blocked stuns, take Mercury's Treads. Hard crowd control will stop you being able to move while in Judgment.
If they are strongly auto-attacker heavy, use Ninja Tabi.
If you are just snowballing and do not need any defensive boots, use Ionian Boots of Lucidity. This will allow all of your cooldowns to come up faster, which Garen is quite reliant on to do his maximum DPS (also known as Demacia Per Second).

^No.

Merc is always a safe bet. They're almost always good.

And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T

Any "proper" (also known as 'capable') team will have CC. Merc is win.

I'd still say it's between merc and ninja.
