don't throw out those old workboots - use them as planters for
cactus like hens n' chicks on your porch steps or in your garden.
put a small layer of rocks in the bottom, use reg. planting soil and plant your flower or item of choice. water sparingly for a few weeks as the boot will hold moisture unless you cut a few drain/air holes in 'em.
i have teenage farm boys that go thru boots every year from hard use. As they have grown, i've taken their boots, cut out part of the toe for added drainage and planted my cactus or other hardy plants in the boot itself then plopped it outside.
i round them all up before winter and put a bed of hay on top of them and cover with a tarp, then in the earlt spring i take them all back out and put them around in the yard or gardens.
