I'm playing BG2:SOA, have gotten to chapter 6, and Aurora keeps telling me that someone she knows COULD make special boots out of the daemonfey boots + boots of speed for 35000 gold, but the only dialogue options I get are "tell me about daemon boots" and "not today, thanks" (paraphrased.)

Thing is, my party has the daemonfey boots, the boots of speed and about 60k gold, so what am I missing that I need to do?

I haven't managed to get past this point (the "someone I know COULD do this if you had a lot of money") in any special item dialogue with either Aurora or Karaea, despite having paid the 500 gp for contacting so-and-so. :-( What am I missing?

The modded game has many "boots of speed" items, unfortunately the game is looking a specific ones.

Hmm. To my knowledge, I don't have any mod-added boots of speed; I just have the standard ones from the token machine and maybe from the Planar Prison... Wondering which ones it's looking for...

Is buying boots and then asking questions the only way to find out what upgrades are available?

IIRC, you need to have a star ruby to do that upgrade.

Correct, Daulmakan, and Aurora (or Karaea also IIRC) should tell you so.
Spoiler
tatterdemalion - you need to have either pair of boots for the upgrade to be suggested. So even a normal boots of speed (which most folks should have fairly early) should trigger it.
