I'm living this right now. My Mom has been the worse about the choices I and DH have made about raising Annabelle. If cribs didn't cost so much, she would have bought us one.
If I had been in your shoes I would have said "The boots are a thing, and they are less important than killing my son's curiosity. I would rather have the boots be ruined, which they are not, than have him not wonder about things. I don't want his mind to be lazy. I will talk with him about how rain boots are for water. All in all, this is not a huge thing." and gone from there.
I've tried giving her articles, and studies and papers and she just turns her nose up at them. Saying "I'm her mother and what I say goes" seems to have worked better.
