I have a pair or Sidi Way Rain boots, seen here:

You can see they have an extra layer of material across the top of the toes for shifting. However, my shifter hits closer to my toe and it's tearing up my shiny new boots.

Is there some sort of glue-on rubber pad or something I can get to cover the correct spot? I'm not talking about one of those velcro on gay things that the stuntaz use to protect their sneakers. I want something permanent.

If you look at the B2 (which is what I have for my leathers), the shifter pad is closer to the toe, in exactly the right spot.

Check the red wings store. They have a few things for that.

Gas Man, now you got me thinkin. I can probably take them in to a boot repair shop. I'm sure they have something they can do.

:iagree: The glue they use will keep it in place too. I had a pair of motocross boots fixed and they had patches glued on. I totally wore the boots out before the patches came off.
