Default How to Add Shifter Patch to the Front of Boot?

Any leather workers here? How can I add a shifter patch to the front of my boot?

Thank you.

P.S. Don't waste time talking about those things that slip over the boot. That isn't what I want.

Get a piece of leather or naugahyde and use 2 part epoxy.

I think you could just loop a strip of velcro around your shoelaces. Havent tried that, but I just might! Usually I just carry spare laces.

Wear the boot mark with pride!! It shows that you ride a motorcycle.

I prefer having a boot mark, matches up with the normal wear and tear of riding. I don't mind the mark and would rather look at that then something I glued or sewed to the top of the boot.

Or, was riding this past weekend and one of my buddies was wearing his work boots. He is a tile layer and wears kneepads and had applied some plastic coating to the tips of the boots to stop the wear while working.

Amazon Amazon



I thought it looked cool.
