My left boot

[rogdeb]

The extra leather strip on the top to protect the upper for gear changing ----------------- starting to wear a hole in it.

I took it to the local shoe repair shop but he wouldn't touch it !!

Glueing a strip of vulcanized rubber (tire repair kit) was a failure

Any ideas guys ------- short of new boots ??

Thanks for your support

I think you need an old school shoe guy or consider covering your shift peg.

I'm not too impressed with your shoe repair guy. Barge cement and another piece of leather.

Buy a new pair of boots.

Used bubble gum...over and over. Works to fix all kinds of problems on advanced fighter jets. Wears and works best when cold.

Allright, somebody's gotta say it.......Leave it in 3rd!!!

Been using it about a year with military boots to and from work (tan boots). You KNOW that black mark would show on a tan boot, and it did on the pair I had before getting the shifter skinz. Goes on in about 3 seconds, comes off in about one second, and works perfectly fine. Throw it in the saddlebag/topbox and it's always there for ya.

Sure it's 20 bucks, but it's saved me from getting new boots, is wearable with ANY footwear I decide to use (when I change boots, I don't need to change this), and has lasted a year of daily commuting so far....

Thanks for all the replies guys

Amazing -- the products out there that I didn't know of.

I'll be working with the shoe-goo or cement/leather first. Although ................. I do like the black duct tape idea .. and 3rd gear .

Find a local saddle maker or leather worker, they can repair just about

anything leather. However, it probably won't be cheap.
