'The Boot and Shoe' was a popular name for inns and public houses in the North of England in the 18th and early 19th century. The original signs showed a horseshoe suspended over a boot, to indicate that the premises welcomed both pedestrians and riders, but in some places this became a clog and a boot or a boot and a shoe - presumably when the significance was lost.
All this has nothing to do with what you're seeking, but it's amazing what you find when you start looking.
As a footnote (oh dear) - have scoured Hones Every Day, Table and Year Books, Chambers Book of Days, Brand's Popular Antiquities, The Gentleman's Magazine.... et al - nowt!!
