| Motorcycle spec. boots,why the toe shift pad on the right boot? I thought about it when I saw some kushitani's,the only boot I've seen that doesn't do this.Seems the mfrs. could save some money by leaving it off of the right boot.Is it just for looks? | |

 | Re: Motorcycle spec. boots,why the toe shift pad on the right boot? Might save on the stiching design (machine setup prgramming / training of works) and cut down on faults (repeated doing the same design but in mirror image) with a shifter pad on both feet. Also the handicapped post from before shows that not everyone would have the sifter on the left foot. Handicapped racer |

| Re: Motorcycle spec. boots,why the toe shift pad on the right boot? I don't see a shift pad on the right boot... perhaps you are looking at the toe slider... edit: My sidi's have the shift pad on both sides too. Last edited by nomad : 06-28-2004 at 10:50 AM. |

| Re: Motorcycle spec. boots,why the toe shift pad on the right boot? It's for people who can't tell left and right. Mine are about equally worn.  |
