How to Get Guardsman's Boots

Common, Master and Magic: Choose to fight the dwarves during A Feast for Crows and open the chest. They also drop at random, and all armorers in Skellige and Toussaint and the merchant at the sawmill northeast of Rannvaig sell them.
Magic (crafted): Find the diagram at a random diagram spot or buy it from armorers in Skellige and the sawmill merchant.

Guardsman's Boots Map Location and Quest Guide

One pair of Guardsman's Boots always lies in the chest upstairs in the dwarves' house during A Feast for Crows, a secondary quest in Novigrad. The pin marks the quest. The chest is reachable only by fighting Cleaver's dwarves instead of handing over the key.

Do Suspicious Shakedown and the first part of Broken Flowers to make the quest appear.
Return to the Rosemary and Thyme, head slightly north and take the small bridge on the left.
Follow the scent trail with Witcher Senses to a dead body by the canal. Take the key from the corpse.
Follow the blood and footprints to a nearby house and go inside. Cleaver's dwarves ask for the key.
Refuse and kill all three dwarves.
Go upstairs and open the chest with the key for the Guardsman's Boots.

Notes

The A Feast for Crows pair is there only if the fight with the dwarves is chosen.
