Question Motorcycle Boot Gearshift Guard?

From actual experience, does anyone know if these really work and are any good?

In theory, they should work. Whether they do or not doesn't matter. They're only $7.00. That's cheaper than similar products on Amazon. Try them.

If they don't work you haven't broken the bank.

Take care of your boots (clean and polish and condition) and you don't need some snowflake "boot protector".

Ha hahahahaha, boot protector. There was a time when a man felt a sense of pride seeing a heavy wear mark on the toe of his left boot.

while out in public, it's how I can identify others from the same tribe, the "wind therapy" tribe.

Duct tape is cheaper and probably works better. Or better yet get a heel-toe shifter.
