After you complete the MSF course, almost all local places (i.e. woods) will give you a gear discount (5-15%) if you bring your completion certificate in. Depending on how much you were planning on spending on your helmet, this can be a significant savings, and worth wearing a 'used' helmet for a few days. You will be so focused on developing your motorcycle skills you will completely forget how many people have used the helmet - it really isnt that bad.
If you are really OCD about germs, you can get a headsock, but they arent very fun in hot weather.
As far as boots, anything will work. The steel toe shouldn't get in the way. Shifting definitely rubs the top of the toe area on boots, so dont wear anything you dont want scuffed up.
Solved most of my helmet-related skin issues by wearing a Buff as a neck gaiter/balaclava. It keeps the helmet from actually touching my skin, which was causing me acne. Wash the thing once a week and you're good. Side benefit: it really cuts down wind noise!
You may notice your breath will fog your shield quicker, but it's well worth that hassle. (If you live in a colder climate--not likely from your photo--you can get these "head socks" for $5 on Amazon. Just FYI: they shrink funny in the dryer).
