Plate mail is secured to your body by leather straps and cloth bindings. The whole point of platemail was to create armor that is molded fairly well to your body, and would turn blows.
You could run in platemail once it was fitted; it actually weighed less, and had fewer loose parts, then a modern soldier's gear.
Yes, the armored boot may make trying to be quiet more like sneaking in steel shoes, but it's certainly not going to be rattling around like pots and pans shifting.
It may be more tightly fitted than some shitty standard-issue Army helmet but it's not that tightly fitted, and it has plenty of overlapping metal parts. Even perfect armor will have movements that cause steel collision, which is going to be a hell of a lot louder than grunt kits are loose.
