Why is it masculine?
Stivale (boot) is masculine because it derives from Latin "stivalis," which was a masculine noun (not adjective) in Latin. Italian inherited this grammatical gender from the Latin form, as Romance languages generally preserve the gender of their Latin etymons. The masculine gender is thus a direct continuation of the Latin masculine gender.
