Person, I know this might not be a very popular solution, but have you considered NOT wearing said boots to your family reunions? Or do you live with them and can't hide them??? Maybe you could just avoid wearing them when your critical aunt is around and thus avoid personal embarrassment...? I also agree with East on why it is important not to give these people any power over your feelings and your personal life.
