I use my heel shifter primarily to protect my boots. Boots are going to look terrible in a short time from using the toe shifter. Took a long time to get used to it but I really like it.

Heel shifters are good for two things. They keep your foot off of your nice chrome primary cover, and they allow you to wear your super-stylish ostrich shoes without messing up the quill bumps, don't you know.

I don't quite get what's so great about it.
I wear size 9 boots-does that make a difference?
To me it's more of a hassle moving my foot to and fro all the time.
To me it's much more comfortable keeping my foot stationary with only the front shifter. Just wondered what you guys thought.

I'm a toe man. Never got use to using the heal shifter. Every time I took off from a stop and I brought my feet up from the ground to the floorboards I'd end up hitting the heal shifter and shifting into second. Not too cool. Maybe my size 12 feet have something to do with it.
