SDCC had a costume on display that actually showed a number of details, and yet they changed some since its been seen. Season 2 especially.
The boots have been a fun hunt as well, pinder and I have been scouring trying to find them since my post here:

However, while watching the show and looking at promo pictures I saw more and more that the shoes looked less like a combat boot and more like a running shoe.

It wasn't until this shot that I stopped looking at combat boots entirely for the sole:

At a friends insistence to check out parkour shoes I found the exact sole they have been using for the show, Nike Free Run 2+

Then a few new images came out where you can clearly see how they basically added the original combat boot (and likely copies of said boot) on top of the shoe itself.

I am 90% sure that the boots above are copies of the initial boot as they are not as clean as the others. But this explains his mobility in the series for sure! I was able to get a good deal on a pair of shoes and look forward to either IDing the base combat boot, or copying it to do the same combination.
