Usage Note
Botte has two distinct senses: a tall boot (des bottes en cuir — leather boots) and a tied bundle of vegetables or flowers (une botte de carottes — a bunch of carrots). Context makes the meaning clear. The phrase à propos de bottes ('out of the blue') is an old idiom meaning a remark that comes from nowhere.
Examples
"Elle porte des bottes noires."
Natural Translation
She is wearing black boots.
