Shoes

They appear "dirty" to me. So many low or ankle boots offer this in any suede type material. Not a fan.

Often the toe of boots or back of heels are the most likely places  that   get damaged first  so   the burnished toe on  leather boots  may help to camouflage  accidental  scratches .

I have several pairs burnished toe boots all from Earth Orgins from several years ago. They camouflage the toes which get knocked about, especially when driving. 
EO has changed since I purchased mine.

I'm not a fan either.

Burnishing makes a shoe look worn to me.  I don't care for the look.  I don't want my new shoes to look worn out.

I don't care for burnished toes in leather, suede, or faux material on boots or any footwear for that matter.

I have a pair that I wear for casual wear with jeans.  I haven't worn them for professional or dressy attire. Its a different look for me, but I like it occasionally.
