A shop or store that specializes in selling boots and similar footwear.
'Boot' + the business-naming suffix '-ery.' The term became common in American English in the early 20th century as specialized retail stores developed, similar to 'bakery' or 'brewery.'
Names like 'bootery' and 'shoery' were once common for specialty shoe shops, but modern retailers prefer brand names. The '-ery' suffix survives in bakery, brewery, and nursery, but is fading in fashion retail.
