Building with it

Four gold ingots, one armour point, 91 uses. As protection that is close to nothing, but gold boots are the traditional choice for bartering trips, since one worn piece is enough to keep piglins from turning on you while you trade.

In practice

Four ingots for one armour point is a poor trade, and that is not why anyone makes golden boots. They are the cheapest single piece of gold to wear, which is all a piglin checks, so they are the standard uniform for bartering trips and nothing else.
