I'm guessing it's mistaken the boots for another penguin standing upright, some sort of threat display, and trying to chase them off.

Many years ago I had a tortoise that would try to rape anyone wearing brown boots. Not the brightest of animals...

It didn't look like a threat display, because when it got close again it just stood there.

Did it try to rape the person wearing the boots, or the boots themselves? I find the second easier to envision.
Male tortoises of most species have an all-hands-on-deck approach to mating. It's all that seems to work for them.

The boots are obviously two other penguins. You gotta stay with the flock, right?
