You know what they say about big gloves and big boots...
*rolls eyes* I'm pretty sure on Feanor of the Peredhil was the real bad influence--Glirdan was much too nervous to be so affirmative, as I recall.

However, to get back to the Boots, it's clearly a figurative gesture--like female pharaohs wearing fake beards, it's all a symbol of power. Gandalf wouldn't actually wear the massive boots.
