From AEG P.130

"As long as the wearer carries a melee weapon that is Medium-Size or larger, she also counts as being set against a charge. The weapon does not have to have reach.."

What does this mean? How does this item work?

a) Whenever a charging enemy come near to the user, he can attack as if he was readying an attack against a charging enemy. Then his initiative order changes (as if he has taken a turn just before the charger).
b) Whenever a charging enemy come near to the user, he can attack as if he was readying an attack against a charging enemy. But this is a kind of extra attack and does not change the initiative order.
c) These sentences are just saying that the wearer of the boots may use any weapon (medium or larger) to "readying a weapon against a charge" and inflicts double damage.
d) Neither of the above

I'm pertty sure its B. Try reading the information in the PHB about spears(specifically, it should give the rules for a readied weapon). That rule applies for any melee weapon held by the user.
