Those are actually two different etymologies/meanings. Amazingly, the word "impregnable" itself has two meanings, which are kind of the opposite of each other.
For "impregnate", it lists the meaning "to fill pores or spaces with a substance" under the same etymology as knocking someone up (which is etymology 2 above): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnate

Other definition for those who don't know. Like me, who had to look it up: infused or permeated with some substance, quality, element, etc.; saturate

Seems like she's asking if he'd like the boots to be treated with (or soaked in) oils. To preserve them, possibly make them water-tight

Boots probably have a magnet in the tag.
I'm assume that since she works in the city she probably has horseshoes, which are ferrous.

Those are her hands, so they would need to be horsegloves.

I SAY THAT CAT HAS A PERFECTLY REASONABLE REACTION TO THAT QUESTION.
THAT IS DISGUSTING AND I REFUSE TO HEAR OTHERWISE.
ALSO WHAT CAT WEARS BOOTS? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WEIRD GIMMICK. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT GIMMICKS, CARL.
