HDT version of "Fur Boots"?

Wow. thanks for the effort. I'm thankful you tried, even if it died on the vine. 

As for why male boots for females, not sure, but they're footwear after all, and quite "utilitarian" in nature, like (styled) snow boots (definitely not "Hawt Stiletto Boots") so maybe the differences when equipped would be indistinguishable for either gender (aside from foot size and maybe thigh girth at the cutoff, and overall length). I haven't noticed any "weirdness" from wearing them, other than that they don't respond to hdt/etc, so they "work", even if outdated.

C'est le vie...

thanks again for researching it deeper, and (sniffle) sad as it may be, putting the idea to bed once and for all.  Might not be the answer I want but it's an answer.

Those are definitely not vanilla boots. You must have installed a replacer at some point, that also added a female version of the boots to add the stockings.

Regardless, you should have nif files most probably in your data/meshes/armor/stormcloaks folder pertaining to female version of the boots. You can easily add the "wubba" to them.

Launch Outfit Studio

File > Load Reference -> CBBE 3BBB Body Amazing
File > Import from Nif -> meshes/armor/stormcloaks/(whatever the female boots are named.nif)

Select the female body, switch to Bones tab, multi-select the following bones;

NPC L Thigh
NPC L RearThigh
NPC L FrontThigh
NPC L Calf
NPC L RearCalf

NPC R Thigh
NPC R RearThigh
NPC R FrontThigh
NPC R Calf
NPC R RearCalf

Switch back to meshes tab, select the boots, right click > copy Selected weights (keep default options)

Select the body, right click > delete

File > Export to nif to same file location, same file name

Do the same for both the _0.nif and the _1.nif

If you don't see an immediate change in game, ditch the boots you're currently wearing and add yourself a new pair for it to take effect.

Holy Cow. ELI5 and it works! Thank you for the spoon feeding @Hanaisse.  your "recipe" is stored for future use. Of course it'll become second nature after I do it a few times, but nice to have a solid foundation I can work from

Muchos Gracias

 

EDIT: Wasn't quite as simple as changing only the boots but still easy. There were also "socks" (the uppers of the boots) that had to be addressed too. But the same actions were taken for them (copying selected weights), and I had to delete vag and anus as well after I noticed their continued presence following deletion of the 3bbb body.
