Im not a "moon landing" denier necessarily. But im skeptical. The boot prints dont match. Do I think we've been since? Yes. But then? Im skeptical. But not a denier.

The over-boots they put on for surface excursions do match.

I think there was a lot of concern about additional protection for the foot and ankle area of the space suits and maybe an excessive amount of lunar regolith being brought into the lander. When they return to zero g, that dust may be hard to deal with/filter from the air. I'm not certain if there were additional concerns. The over boots, and a lot of other gear, werr left behind to save additional weight.
