People move things around in stores all the time. Just because something is sitting on a sale rack doesn't mean it's on sale. The other person might not have been dishonest, just mistaken.
As for waiting around to see if the boots were on sale, yes, you could have done that. On the other hand you said you didn't have time to wait. I guess it would be up to you to decide it it was worth the difference in price to wait.
