I don't think they saw that one comin'!
The Demoman on turning while charging

Ali Baba's Wee Booties are a community-created primary weapon for the Demoman. They are a pair of steel pointed boots, curved up at the tip, that replaces the Demoman's standard boots.

These boots provide the player with a 25 health bonus, and a 10% faster movement speed bonus if the user has also equipped a Shield, such as the Chargin' Targe, Splendid Screen, or Tide Turner. In addition, they triple the player's turning control while charging with either the Chargin' Targe or Splendid Screen, allowing the Demoman's charge to be maneuvered more easily. Melee kills with this weapon equipped result in a 25% charge recovery. The maximum possible overheal is also raised to 300 HP (251 HP from the Quick-Fix).
