Default boot shift/toe protector

I don't know if this is the place to post this but here it goes.

I have seen a boot shift/toe protector made out of leather. I know there are "Skins" to protect your left boot but I am looking for a leather one. At the time I paid no attention to it but now I have some boots I really like and am trying to keep them unscuffed just for the sake that they'll last longer.

If anybody knows the name of the manufacturer or the site I would much appreciate it.

Thanks,

GL

Did you not do a Google search, or are you asking for specific experiences?

C'mon man . . . everybody knows your not a REAL biker until you have that scuff mark on your boot from the shifter peg.

My Ariat boots will be two years old next month and I have absolutely no scuff or wear marks on my left toe. Maybe I'm not shifting hard enough !!!

I heard about another guy who wanted to know how to keep the wind from puffing out his shirt....[sm=violin.gif]

My shifter peg has rubber on the bottom. No scuffs on my boots.

Does leave a black mark on my docksiders though. [sm=icon_rofl.gif]
