Plural of bootery; shops or stores that specialize in selling boots.
From 'boot' + the business-naming suffix '-ery' (as in 'bakery' or 'brewery') + plural '-ies'. Emerged in the 19th-20th centuries as specialized footwear retail developed.
The suffix '-ery' is English's favorite way to name shops and workshops—add it to any product and you get a place that sells or makes it. 'Bootery' is old-fashioned now, replaced by modern retail names.
