I went through and calculated that in a custom game just to give an idea of why i run these items.
When playing my first buy because i like to play passive and if gank is available go for the kill are. Crystalline Flask, Vision Ward, Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation. It's a relatively passive start great sustain and every time i head to base i get free potions. With the added Vision totem I'm allowed to place one at key choke points as-well as one at my lane.
For more of an aggressive start i'd just simply swap out my vision ward and flask for a Sapphire Crystal and 2x Biscuits. Simply because the Sapphire allows me to build into Catalyst the Protector which later builds into one of my core items Rod of The Ages.
My First back always varies on situations, but one item always stays the same Tear of the Goddess it proves such an amazing boost for little cost. Then if I'm vsing a mobile opponent that is landing abilities more then i would like I'd go for Boots of Speed that little bit more movement makes that much of a difference. If not I'll simply start building into Rod of The Ages.
Then after that i practically just build into my cores all on the situation after I've rushed my Rod of The Ages, if I'm doing good don't need that defensive aspect of Zhonya's I'll start into either a Luden's Echo or if my damage is lacking a Void Staff.
For an example build order that i use on one or more occasions is the following.
Greater Totem>Sapphire Crystal>Tear of the Goddess>Catalyst the Protector>Rod of Ages>Boots of Speed>Seraph's Embrace>Mercury's Treads>Luden's Echo>Zhonya's Hourglass>Void Staff
But once again that is purely situational I'm never building items without taking in note of what is happening around me. Even then sometimes i won't touch a Luden's Echo and opt for another defensive item.
Different Situational Boots:
Like i stated above my Mercury's Treads are totally just the base item feel free to swap change on situations or player style. Here are some good alternatives.
Ninja Tabi:
If your enemy team has fed ADC or just mainly AD champions.
Sorcerer's Shoes:
Most Ryze players opt for these since you are an AP Carry after all and you need Magic Penetration, on top of that they're not expensive which makes them a good set of boots. Regarding the Magic Penetration if you opt for Void Staff these are not really needed.
Now onto the boot enchantment Alacrity.
It's personally my favorite enchantment for Ryze once again because his very reliant on movement speed the +20 solid movement bonus is really nice. Allowing you to chase down or escape easier.
