yea its fine, if you have a regular sized carry on just carry the boots over your shoulder as a "personal item" and store up top or at your feet for the flight

Yup. Every airline considers boots your personal item.

Yup, I have taken them as a personal item several times, but I find it more convenient to clip them to the outside of my carryon with carabiners

Get a big reusable shopping bag so it has a better handle and you can stick a magazine or something else in there too if you want. My boots are not so comfortable to carry a long ways with just the strap.
For sure carry them on. You don't want some weirdo doing whatever they want with your boots under the plane.
