Hi there, we use some of the more sturdy ones as planters. You can also turn them into cute birdhouses. You'll find a whole bunch of inspiration here - https://www.aqha.com/-/creative-uses-for-old-cowboy-boots

You can donate them to a charity. I've also seen them made into planters, birdhouses, and lamps.
They make great planters, or even water fountains.
Generally I’d donate or recycle them but I’m sure if you check the search bar at the top left, Hometalk has a bunch of cool boot ideas.
I've seen the more decorative boots made into purses by cutting the lower portion away and adding a solid base that is attached with leather strips. As others have said, they will also work well as plant pots (conversation piece). If they are in extra good shape you could donate them for other's use.
The rubber boot bird houses are a very cute idea:

That depends to a certain extent what the boots are made out of (leather, rubber, vinyl?) and how old is 'old'. Are the boots no longer wearable, do they leak, do they have holes in?
Please supply us with a few more details, or better yet, post a picture, so that we can offer you suggestions as to what you might do with your particular boots.
I have seen some very cute planters made from boots. I also recently saw where someone did a gnome on a pair of boots which was very creative as well.

You could place them by your front door and put faux flowers in one of them for decor!
Fill them up with soil and pop in a plant.
Hello, if you don't want to donate them, you can make them into garden planters,

If they are still in good shape , perhaps give them to someone that needs them, Or use them as out door planters....
Old rain boots can be used to fill with flowers. Add a bow and set on the front steps for a beautiful spring decorating idea !
