Ali Baba's Wee Booties are a community-made primary weapon for the Demoman. They are a pair of steel pointed boots, curved up at the tip, that replace the Demoman's standard boots.
These boots provide the player with a +25 health bonus. In addition, they double the player's turning control while charging with either the Chargin' Targe or Splendid Screen, allowing the Demoman's charge to be maneuvered more easily.

Update history
June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)
- Ali Baba's Wee Booties were added to the game.
- Added Ali Baba's Wee Booties to the whitelist for Medieval mode.
- Fixed Ali Baba's Wee Booties not drawing correctly on disguised Spies.
October 13, 2011 Patch (Manniversary Update & Sale)
- Fixed Demoman weapons primary/secondary being backwards in the loadout screen.
Bugs
- If the alternate fire button is held during a charge, turning control will not be doubled.
- If a Spy disguises as a Demoman wearing the Booties, and they have their shown weapon as the primary slot, both the Booties and the stock Grenade Launcher will show.
Trivia
- The increased turning control was originally an exploit with the Chargin' Targe; the exploit can be performed using any controller with analog sticks in conjunction with the mouse; both forms of input were accepted and compounded into more significant turning control. Alternatively, a player can simply bind a button to '+left' or '+right' in the console. The patch in which this weapon was added was originally supposed to fix this, but the exploit remains.
- Template:W is a fictional character from the story "Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves", a short story featured in the book Template:W, the latter of which was the inspiration for the Demoman's One Thousand and One Demoknights pack.
- The boots are styled after a particular form of shoe curved at the toe that was popular in the Middle East between the twelfth and nineteenth centuries.
