Steel Toe or Regular Slip on Boots?

Well I would say if you had to choose between the two you posted I would go with steel toe, the whole idea of wearing a boot while riding is protecting the ankle and foot in case of mishap. Now for the best choice I would buy a boot manufactured just for riding, companies like icon and joe rocket sell boots that have reinforced ankles and toes to protect from crushing, twisting, smashing etc.

I don't like slip on boots for motorcycles myself. Slip on means slip off easily in an accident. I like a nice lace up boot with a zipper to allow getting out of it and a Vibram sole. I don't own a pair of real motorcycle name brand boots myself but bought a SWAT type of black boots at a surplus store that are comfortable, have a lot of support, and allows me to walk around when I get to where I am going.
Steel toe or not? More protection is probably good. I got hit right above the visor by a tire lug nut flying off a car on the freeway. I like a full face helmet, boots that won't come off in a fall, and protective pants and jacket.

I wear slip on without steel toes. I read that the steel toes can actually make it hard to fit under the shifter. They're not specifically motorcycle boots, but have been good enough for the minor spills I've taken while I learned to ride. Having said that, I support the idea of getting a boot made specifically for riding.

How can I get a good workout?
I primarily work on my legs, but I want to gain more physical strength. I don't have a gym membership, so I do everything at home. However, I do have a pair of 10 pound dumbbells and ankle weights, and a 25 pound dumbbell I use for sumo, pile, and wide squats. It's somewhat heavy and it works my lower back so it does the job. My workout consists of:10-20 pushups10-20 single leg pushups10-30 body squats5-10 pile squats5-10 sumo squats5-10 wide squats10 bird dogs10 weight bird dogs10 weight…See More
