I'm a soon-to-be newbie. I'll be getting my first bike in June (06 SV650S). I decided to go ahead and get the gear first. Also, I'll be taking the MSF in May.
Yea I read that too, about the stell toed boots, but I need to buy some more. At least they are over the ankle, but i want some better ones. A real riding boot
(sidi, alpinestars) will look weird in a size 13.....lol
Don't be to concerned with the steel toe boots, MYTH BUSTERS did a show on that and it took an incredible amount of force to cause injury. I think they dropped a 400 lb weight on them and it didn't bend the steel. Like the other guy said if it bends this metal you've got other problems.

congratulations. I just took the MSF course this past week end, the instructors were very good I learned a few things and one of the instructors has an FZ1 and convinced me to come from the dark side(I own an '06 Fat Boy) and buy an 2005 FZ1. oh and I'm keeping the Harley also my wife loves it so it stays
Aerostitch 2 pc, Arai Signet, Lee Parks Deerskins, Kobe boots, and a Bohn back protector. Winter time, add Widder electric vest and gloves. Below 20 degrees add Bikers Comfort windproof longjohns and socks.
Helmet: Icon Alliance
Jacket: Fieldsheer MotoBar leather in red
Gloves: JR Pheonix or Reflex Gear (can't remember model name)
Pants: Whatever jeans I have on as long as there are no holes or freing.
Kicks: Typically, over ankle CAT leather work boots
I'm looking at getting a pair of leather pants with racing zip attachment. Also looking at various boots, spec. a track worthy, waterproof boot with replacable sliders. Diadora and A* looks like it too me so far in the $200-ish range.
