*Due to how Wurm math works, it is not easy to relate how much speed boost is given by each shoe, each shoe's QL, each enchantment, each enchantment's power, and by rarity. Older references you see to specific km/h tied to QL/power are incorrect. The basics can be explained simply by saying the higher the QL, the higher the enchantment power, and the rarer the shoe, the speedier your mount will be.

The effects of each of these factors is additive.

Due to how Wurm math works, it is not easy to relate how much speed boost is given by each factor. But the overarching idea is the higher the QL of each shoe, the higher the enchantment power of each WoA or BoTD cast, and the rarer each shoe is, the faster the horse will move.
