Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That ^ is the wrong direction - you'll need a step up, that takes the 110V supply and provides 240V for you to use. It will have a UK style plug that your device can plug in to.
But what is the power requirement of your boots? Not the voltage - it will either be power in W or possibly VA (Volt-Amps), or they may specify a current in A instead.

Thanks folks. It's thermic boot dryers that I use. 230v and 50W. Does that change things?

No that's fairly low wattage, just aim for something ~100w or more which will be almost all of them.

True, but if you half the voltage into the heater you half the power.

Actually as the power is (V squared)/R if you half the voltage the power is reduced to a quarter!
