Go for a ride and stick each one on a fence post. That's what they do out west.

But the real answer to your question is to buy better boots.

When I retire a pair of cork boots I lace them together and fling them over a tree branch somewhere outside the unit we’re in. Just to give hunters and berry pickers something to laugh about

Like was said plant flowers or you can hang them on a fence on the opposite side of the road if you have a trap on the other side for distraction.

My wife puts flowers in some of mine, puts some on posts also.

I've made a couple knife sheaths from the tops of slip on boots before.

Those boots look great. You got any pictures of the old ones?

Drink your whiskey out of them.
Plant flowers.
Bird houses.
Knife sheaves, etc. If the leather is still good.
