OP Now, if something's useless, it's bootless..
And I just learned something: We're familiar with a pirate's booty, but I didn't realize that the baby slipper was spelled differently: bootee or bootie. So, three spellings for the cost of one on the Scrabble board!
And, since we're got the Achilles' heel mentioned in a post above, we can't forget the elevator boots used in Greek theatre: kothurnos--but my spelling is incorrect here. Can anyone help?
