Door and Car, others are footwear.

I think it's is trying to trick you a little, as Boot and door are also parts of a car. However I'd go for the door and car as the odd ones out.

You would be correct. My son had selected slipper and snowshoe as odd. His reasoning being that the others were part of a car. I was unsure either way. Not sure why it can't be either, as long as reasoning behind it was sound.

Door and boot are parts of a car but 'car' is not part of a car as such.

Aaah, and the penny drops. Thank you, Toadsmum and Tinkers. Now I can explain it to my son.
