The Boots could be seen in the trailer for God of War on PS4.The Boots were present as an item in God of War: Ascension's Multiplayer: they sped up the movement of whoever wore them.

That way of attacking Kratos' enemies wasn't present in the final game. In the Fear Nothing Trailer, Kratos used the Boots of Hermes to run alongside a rocky wall and attacked a Centaur General, by jumping off the wall and hooking onto the Centaur General with the Blades of Athena.The novelisation for God of War II does show he can use the wings on the Boots to "levitate".Unlike the Boots in the game, which increased Hermes' speed, the Sandals gave Hermes the ability to fly. In Greek Mythology, the Boots were sandals and the wings were attached to the heels.
