The boots are custom designer I am guessing But jungle boots are going to be about the closest things unless you want to custom make boots. I am actually going to dremel the sole down to flat and make custom straps for the Jungle boots, and obiously weather them to look that graysih brown color.
Thad- it has been a long time, Ill shoot you a email
Been working on a Bane costume for DragonCon. One of the items I have been looking for is a pair of boots for the Bane costume. As I am a big boot lover, I know who can do custom boots. Bane’s boots is based on a logger style but with a flat sole and heel. The upper is smooth leather where the lower is rough-out leather. There are three or four custom boots manufactures in the northeast United States, Nick’s Boots, Whites, WESCO and maybe Hoffman. From some of the photos my first guest was WESCO. Called them and sent some photos but they throughout a high price for them. They are price boots any way. Talked to Whites and Hoffman but didn’t get much out of them. I think WESCO made them. One lady at WESCO did tell me they made some boots for a Batman movie but didn’t know what they made. I have two pair of Nick’s Packer boots and they make a fine boots. Talked with one of their guys to see if they can make them. The photo is what he said they can do which I think will be a 98% replica.

NICE !! Below is more like what it would be but at 10" and with the V-Bar sole. Bane's boot has a V-Bar sole and that would be what I would have them use.
Also found someone to make the coat out of sheep skin. They will do it both ways with lambs wool on the inside rough-out on the outside or with synthetic lambs wool inside and rough-out on the outside.

Here is my contribution
Mask:GCFX ( looking for 2.0 with accuracy based on the Japan display pics)
Vest:SIQ (new kidney belt 2.0 on the way)
Pants: are Remade (by 585) patterned off of Bane pants.com (added accuracy and comfort and fit)
Coat: 100% made by 585 (wife & I) 72 sq feet of Leather from Tandy
Boots: WWII para-trooper/At the ready (Ankle strap not finished)
* Coat was assembled less than 24hrs of the premier.Button tabs are going to be re-sized,and WEATHERED we had zero time and wasn't worth rushing, IMHO this was Premier ready,Tons of tweeks refitting and 30 pounds needs to go before I call this complete.oh and the buttons were cast and painted by myself due to the Japan pics ( Thank You )
BTW Shave....It grows back

She Made it.
No it is not,some sculpty.. some wire Carbon fiber tape/sheet (Damn fine for only promo shots)
Made in only a day after GCFX sent her their "Accurate" uh.."Creation"
now after seeing it twice on the Imax (70mm) in MN she's now on 2.0 working toward smooth-on products with a possible life cast. after the success of the mask,she is in a WIP of her scratch built belt..stay tuned.
GCFX, its a neo-prene that has bumps/texture and and quite grey..this will be replaced ASAP
I have to revise my statement, we added the black sliders on waist band area.prior to the japan photos,we had a darker material overall to contrast the knee section.
the coat being my 1st highest priority to alter now after seeing the film.
right face of the coat has a stip of leather with buttons (not a single photo ive seen yet,just what we saw on screen) change placement of my current coat,button tabs shorten.
Oh and Weather the Crap out of it
2nd biggest change commission a True artist to make an accurate mask with my life-casting.

:thumbsup
I believe in accuracy as much as I can.I'm certainly looking forward to seeing something.
(didn't have time to press the inner robes after 3 days of Bane)
I must admit the difficulty of a costume prior to release, what a challenge.
Found the other side of the coat reference..

just to fix the right side of the coat before the next gig

The only way to go is custom, the vest was designed for the movie so they used no base vest to create it
