I'm reading the Ultimate Equipment and I've stumbled across Boots of the Burglar and am a little fuzzy on what they do.

The description reads

"[...]grant their wearer a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks to spot or locate traps[...][...]This bonus also applies to AC and on any Reflex saving throws against such traps."

Now, is that a +5 AC in general or a +5 ONLY vs those traps? RAW seems like it could be interpreted as +5 in general but RAI seems like it could go either way.

Only to the traps.

It's definitely +5 AC only against traps' attacks. A flat +5 competence bonus to AC on a non-typical body slot would be much more expensive.
