Shifting pad
Although we strongly discourage it ourselves and always refer to the wide range of motorcycle shoes we offer, regular ankle high shoes or street boots are sometimes used as 'motorcycle boots'. In that case, there is no link reinforcement, which shows after a few rides.
If you want to protect your shoes and/or boots against damage from the gearshift lever, you can either take care of the lever itself, or you can use a separate gearshift padding to attach to your shoe or boot.
