Elections are around the corner. We are one step away from the next event. Plan to partake in a protest or two? Plan to "peacefully" observe the "mostly peaceful" protests up close?

You might lose a little extra foot protection but if you are wearing these I would assume you have steel toe boots/shoes and the toe guard wouldn't matter.
