I've had my pink beatle boots since 1980, and no spider has ever nested in them. 
That is because, like most Aussie critters, the spiders are man killers and would have a rough time explaining themselves to their peers.

"Hey Fang, how did you manage to bite that one guy none of us could get near?"

"I hid in some pink boots"

"What?, that makes no sense!"

"Ok, ok, I thought about it but figured it was just a bit to weird. Kinda creeped me out that I ever considered it!"
