BOOTS: Safety Toe or Not?

Boots/footwear are arguably one of the most important factors in a SHTF scenario. Your boots will decide whether every step you take is comfy bliss or living hell, and will ultimately dictate your range of movement.

One primary factor that you should take into account when buying SHTF boots are Safety Toes (i.e. steel toes, composite toes, alloy toes, etc.). Now, in a catastrophic event, the terrain will be unpredictable and probably dangerous, and one thing you're going to need to protect is your feet.

So that begs the question- do you sacrifice a little money and get boots with Safety Toes? Or do you save the cash and get standard boots w/o the added protection? And are Safety Toes even really worth it, or do their negatives (i.e. weight...) outweigh their positives?

This brings me to my personal predicament. I'm stuck between buying two boots: The first is a pair of STANDARD Danner 8" Acadia boots, which come with plain, unprotected toes. The second, a few bucks extra, are the Danner 8" Acadia NMT boots, which are the same exact boots as the standards, however they come with Safety Toes.

What do you think about this? Which would you pick?
