When making iron boots, it is important that the iron ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 iron ingots in the first row at either sides (the middle box should be left empty) and 2 iron ingots in the second row at either sides (the middle box should be left empty). This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for iron boots.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the iron boots will appear in the box to the right.
