Heel-toe shifter. Never have to go 'under' the shifter.

I guess I am of a different mindset. I dont mind having a mark on my boots from shifting or worn down outer heels from taking turns low. I believe these are good marks. Lets the world know you actually ride. They are boots after all not some dress shoe...unless i missed something.

yeah, im with you on that, and i'll add that it sounds like the original poster needs to get some real boots. it takes a lot of shifting for decent boots to show any wear.

Wear the mark on your boots with pride. You are riding a motorcycle not attending a fashion show

I have boots that have a hole worn in the top from riding...had a lot of fun getting them that way.

Talk about pansies.

I think the hole would have to be rather large to mess up your toe nail polish.
