No winter boots passed or past this point???

A) No winter boots past this point


or


b) No winter boots passed this point


Which is correct??? I know if there is a verb, past is correct, but there is not. And this refers to location, not time.

'Past' is used as a preposition here, meaning 'beyond'. 'Passed' is the simple past tense of 'to pass' and is therefore not relevant to this sentence.

This is a full sentence if you put a period at the end. It says that no winter boots walked by this point. Since winter boots can't walk, it doesn't make sense, but it's a grammatical sentence.
