#3 : authentic. Boots, in French "brodequins". Very detailed English article about this horrible torture in Wiki
As far as I read, in these times, person to be tortured had to strip, both men and women. It made them humiliated and vulnerable and it made the torturer's job easier, since all body parts were easily accessible.In France, I don't know elsewhere, women (men I don't know) were stripped naked for the "question" : torture to make accused persons speak.
