Much more of an issue now with the introduction of armor trims drawing focus on these areas. The easiest fix would be to make 1 leg and boot inflated by 0.1, this is common practice in modeling and I believe Minecraft would've used it here if the armor model was made nowadays.

Still occurs on the bottom and top sides of the boots.

Can also confirm that this problem is still somewhat present in 23w06a.

For clarity's sake, since most of the z-fighting issues covered by this bug report have been fixed, I've resolved this bug report again, and we're tracking the remaining z-fighting issue at the bottom of boots in MC-259797.
