A is a that comes up the leg. The dividing line is the ankle, not the material, so a wellington, a walking boot and a cavalry boot are all while a brogue is a however heavy it is.
The useful derivations are the ordinary ones: o for the bootmaker, o for the shop, senbota for barefoot in the specifically bootless sense.
