It depends on who told you you couldn't work with the boot on. Do you have this in writing? Are there any witnesses?

If your manager or any official at your company told you to go home because you could not work with the boot on, that could be a legal thing. This is could be illegal and a reason to sue the company.

If they terminated you because you were home after they told you to go home it is definitely a reason for a law suit. It all depends on what you can prove.

If you received instructions via email, try to print these messages out before you no longer have access to the email system.

I do not know what state you live in but in Maryland the department to contact is the Department of Labor and Licensing Regulations, DLLR. Every state has a state labor department. This is who you should call in your home state.

Contact them first thing Monday morning (as soon as they start working which is usually around 8 am) and tell them what happened to you.

If your ex-employer is trying these things and you can prove what they did is illegal, you should hold them accountable.
