1 and 3 are correct.

2. Your prepositional phrase is correct. But -- "under my hiking boots" tells where, so it must be an adverbial phrase modifying "wear." Another way of looking at this is that the phrase can be placed at least three places in this sentence. That fact identifies it as an adverb, modifying the verb.
