I don't collect or research Navy gear, but I believe they used a roughout low boot similar in appearance to the M43 service shoe well into the 1950s and possibly later. This type would likely be appropriate with a G-1. A quick Google search revealed the following, and if you scroll through the pics you'll see the footgear I mentioned as well as an assortment of flightsuits:
