Not sure if it is a mafia thing or a KoL thing but one of them doesn't seem to handle "skill release the boots" very well in a combat macro. It seems to gloss right over the Release the Boots skill if it is the first skill executed in a macro.
I'm a muscle class so pickpocket doesn't happen in this macro, and of course the disco combos don't happen either. The only skill that may happen first is Olfaction, and I think that is when the Release the Boots actually works, once every 40 adventures.
The combat macro:
Output from CCS without the "item spectre scepter" before "skill release the boots":
Output once "item spectre scepter" is added before the boots skill
