The burgundy boots would not be acceptable. The red ones, may work... but without seeing more angles, it's hard to say...

The second pair looks like the only pair I've ever seen another guard wear that wasn't black Jack boots.

The straps would have to be removed and hopefully the part that is folded down over the ankle could be pulled back up. I'm not the final word though.

with how scrunched up the boot appears to be (by design) I would be leaning towards saying no on these... but unless I can see in person photos with the straps removed I cannot say 100% one way or the other

They should be fine if you remove the straps and pull up the top, so it isn't scrunched up. Here is an image of them in my ROTJ Royal Guard build with the "mods":
