Just some guy obsessed with women wearing boots. Here you'll find all sorts of mostly safe-for-work bootage. The emphasis is on booted women in the popular media.

Her Maid Removes Her Boot
From Fraulein Doktor (1969). As we saw here, some "boot off" scenes are just about taking off a pair of boots. Some are SO much more. This is one of those that is so much more. While the boots are unexciting, the removal scene is so fraught with eroticism that it more than makes up for bootage shortcomings.
From a historical perspective, the second part of the clip maybe more interesting. In it, Suzy Kendall wears a pair of loose-to-the-leg, pull on boots that reach almost to her her knees. In an exploitation movie set in World War I but filmed in 1969, it would be easy to assume that the wardrobe department out of laziness or poverty simply grabbed a pair of available gogo boots. However, as we've learned, she's wearing a pair of boots identical to the "Russian boot" which was all the rage in the 1910's and 20's. It is not uncommon for costume designers to put a modern twist on period designs, and it wouldn't be the first time that anachronistic boots were featured. But, if her boots were a deliberate choice, it would be a very rare example of a modern movie that paid proper tribute to the Russian boot craze.
