The answer of   See profile was rated best

attraversò il cortile barcollando, [arrivato] alla porta sul retro si sfilò gli stivali con un calcio

My comment:

'kicked off' is quite untranslatable into Italian, we would say "scalciare (scalciò)" but it's not a wonderful word, even "sfilare (sfilò)" would sound wrong to me as it implies some action of the hands taking off the boots, and in this case the context tells me he's drunk and he just kicks them away, without actually thinking.

The asker's comment:

well done, impeccable job.
ciao
