Boots.
Unless your in need of sprocket? But it sounds like you just want a gearing change.

If you need a new chain/sprockets soon go that way. That is of course if you already have some decent footwear.

It's a shame that you've got to make a choice between the two. I go with the safety equipment every time.

i'd say if you can afford to use that money for the protective gear and work up the money for the gearing, then do that. BUT......if the chain/sprocket are getting worn and hindering your riding........i'd get what is necessary to keep the bike on the road then work up the money for the protective gear.
