Why is it feminine?

Botas is feminine because it derives from Latin "botta" (a leather wine skin), which was a feminine noun in Latin, and Spanish retained this gender assignment when the word evolved. However, the modern Spanish word "bota" has multiple meanings: it can refer to a boot (feminine), a leather wine skin (feminine), or a unit of measurement (feminine). All meanings maintain the feminine gender inherited from Latin.
