Footwear which defies the laws of physics, by creating their own localised gravity field, thus preventing the astronaut, who is walking around another heavenly body such as the Moon, from floating away into space.
nephew: "There is no gravity on the Moon."
uncle: "If there was no gravity on the Moon, how did Neil Armstrong walk on it? Without gravity, he would have floated off into space!"
nephew: "Easy, he was wearing space boots."

Get the space bootsmug. The same as shakin' in my boots, which means scared. The phrase is used sarcastically often.
The specific term comes from Austin Powers in which Dr. Evil says "I'm shaking in my little space boots", although some falsely attribute it to Toy Story. Also, the "little" is commonly skipped from the phrase.
