There is so much wrong with that conversation it isn't even funny. During the fight there is a lot of back and forth, but the only noticeable shot of Pyrrha touching his boots is when he goes to kick her and she blocks with her arm. It isn't until later that she uses her Semblance to move his boot and she doesn't actually touch his boots when moving them from what I can see. Then later he mentions Pyrrha being able to move his boots around however she wanted with only slight adjustments, but the only time she really uses it is to make that one kick miss.

Not to mention she only uses her Semblance once, yet Mercury and Emerald somehow correctly identify what her Semblance is just from that; I'm not buying that. If her power is really a big secret, then her power could literally be to manipulate any material his boot is made from. Her power could be to manipulate the air around his boot or maybe she can move things like Glynda; same effect, just different power. But no, after a brief use Mercury correctly knows every single aspect of Pyrrha's powers flawlessly.
