I'd say it's misuse because a) neo-Nazis both IRL and in media usually are that over the top; and as you mentioned, those specific types of boots exist, making this an Aluminum Christmas Trees/Reality Is Unrealistic combo, and b) I'm not really seeing how it's "sudden", unless the entry is trying to argue that fictional conventions where neo-Nazis are just...neo-Nazis and nothing else is more common (which, again, would just fall into Reality Is Unrealistic).
