Comment (by leavengood):

 The MediaPlayer icon is pretty much my favorite, so much so I've
 considered using it as artwork in my office. So we aren't changing that,
 no way, no how, not on my watch, over my dead body, etc.

 Political correctness has gone too far in the modern world. If someone is
 REALLY offended by a boot icon, they are insanely overly sensitive and
 should make an attempt to join the rest of us in the real world.

 If on the other hand you can provide a better icon, please do. Maybe a
 Western style boot would be better since it has bootstraps, but, '''oh
 no''', international users who don't know about the American cowboy boot
 won't understand...
