Iron armour wouldn't give +2 walkspeed. Mithril is the highest of the various padded armours, as it has the same walkspeed as bento armour.

I simply feel that the middle grounds armour hardly adds anything to the game. Sure, it's kinda cool, I guess. Doesn't serve any practical use though, being such a tiny change, with superiors on every front.

It isn't a speed boost. It's a way of reducing the negative effects of slowing armour.
