Anybody know where I can get the Hat Meb was wearing during the race and post race? Just a hat with a cool looking winged foot.

I think he's probably going to keep it so you're probably out of luck. But you might be able to get Desisa's hat that he threw off in the last 1k.
The hat was definitely great, but you won't find it for sale anywhere.
The winged foot was a New York Athletic Club (NYAC) logo on the hat. NYAC has been one of Meb's sponsors for many years, ever since his breakup with those other "four-letter-word-that-begins-with-N" guys.
A classy hat-tip to his supporters from a classy guy.
NYAC is not a "sponsor". He is a member of that club. Furthermore you can be a member of NYAC and be sponsored by Nike. No problem.
All this time I thought it was a Red Sox hat...

Yes, Meb is a member of NYAC, but he also has been receiving a training stipend from them as well:
