It means that a situation has reversed itself and the person who was previously at an advantage has been left at an uncomfortable disadvantage - as would be the case if they put their boots (or any footwear) on the wrong feet.

This idiom means that a situation has reversed, with the roles or circumstances changing from what they were before. It is used to describe when the position of power or advantage shifts to the other person or party involved.
