TheWoWDBThis quest is another example of "Druid Flight Form for the Win". The shoes can be looted while hovering, rendering the sprites almost helpless. If you are too close to the ground, they can attack you but that should go without saying.

I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
If you are doing this quest without a lot of other people arround you might be able to get this after only killing about 3-5 groups, as the shoes respawn faster then the mobs defending them.

Description
I loathe sprites! One time, one of those nasty buggers followed me all day, putting dirt in my tea and bugs in my hair. I mean, who does that!? Well, I think it's time for a little payback. Do you know what the sprites up at Windward Isle love more than anything in the world? Yeah, you guessed it. Shoes! And we're going to steal them. Won't that make them mad! Hah! Well, I'm scared to go near sprites, so you'll have to do it, {name}.
