So far, it seems shoes beats boots by a significant margin. Boots has a big lead in Google Search, but that includes every little forum/blog/personal web page in the Webiverse, which is not what we mean by "reliable sources". If anyone wants to suggest other verifiable metrics to be added to the mix, knock yoself out. ― Mandruss ☎ 00:53, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Ngram Viewer at Google Books gives some interesting results, also showing "fuck-me shoes" in the lead, and showing that it originated about 15 years before "fuck-me boots". ― Mandruss ☎ 03:54, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Actually, all of the above has been wasted effort. According to Boot, boots are a type of shoe, in the general sense of the word "shoe", as in footwear. But shoes are not a type of boot. "Fuck-me pumps", another common term that already redirects to this article, are clearly not boots. So "shoe", as the more general term, is the obvious choice for the title as it encompasses everything covered in the article, whereas "boot" does not. The only change needed is in the first sentence, as follows:

In Australia, back in the days when most women wore high heels, they had to be RED ones to be called this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:e448:d401:7939:6060:703e:86e8 ( talk) 02:39, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
as an american raised on mostly 80s (college) slang, i have never once heard "fuck-me shoes". fair enough, maybe it's regional.
and fuck-me boots, aka come-fuck-mes, refer to a particular kind of LOW CUT slutty mini boots. usually made of like velour. none of these thigh-high leather boots with spike heels etc. would qualify. those were sometimes "slut boots" or "hooker boots", but FMBs and CFMs were low things, with pretty minor heels.
i think the proper name may be ankle boots. is no one with me on this interpretation?
btw, we also had "fuck me clogs" -- for one particular style of clog -- but, again, no fuck-me SHOES. 2601:18A:8080:EA60:E01B:FD2A:1BC3:720C ( talk) 06:17, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
