One of the guys I worked fire crew with was nicknamed "nine toes" but you only said that if you wanted him to get mad. He'd had a saw accident while cutting on his own time. He was fortunate to only lose one toe.
We all used steel toe boots when cutting for the forest service. And chaps of course. Foot injuries are one of the more common chainsaw injuries. I still use steel toe boots. They're not too heavy.
Unless it's designed to resist chains like chaps are, kevlar isn't going to protect your foot any better than leather, and that isn't much.
