Have you thought about handsewing? I'm not exactly sure what you are putting onto things, but if it's not that big you could handsew.

these are like what i'm talking about they just look like patches either glued or ironed on :

I have never tried it, but I would think you could use a iron on applique, but i would hand sew around it to make sure to secure it. Otherwise I don't think is would stay on as long. Just my opinion

a local boutique uses a heatpress and puts on appliques and heat transfers...

I think I would use something like E6000 before I would try to iron anything on. I would be very worried about what the iron would do to the surrounding area. And usually you need a pretty hot iron for appliques to stick good and I just don't think a hot iron on fabric of the boots would be good.
If nothing else it will flatten the nap, even with a pressing cloth over it.
I'm not so sure stitching them on would work either. It would be really hard to get a needle through the applique and the boot fabric.
Only my opinion, but I think glue is the only thing to use.

that's what i was thinking but like i said i'm kinda new to "crafting" so i wasn't too sure. so e600 glue should work??
