Shoe Goo ain't gonna fix this:


Maybe some new rearsets?

This is all due to bad technique on my part and not getting up on the pegs. I didn't even notice till I was riding to work and my toes were getting cold...

Fixable? And if so, how?

What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.

God, I HATE agreeing with cranky, but yeah, toss those boots and next time keep the balls of your feet on the pegs and stop dragging your toes.

Agreed.
But does Alpinestars repair that stuff? Or would they say, uhm, something like, "Pick your feet up."

If you don't pick your feet up, sometime in your future riding career you will catch your foot on something and at best just brake your foot. Try picking your feet up before something very bad happens to you!


Don't buy a new pair of boots until you can learn to pick your feet up!

This is what happens when you decide to jack around and just lean the bike without hanging off... and my toes were picked up on the right part of the peg...

How on earth didn't you notice that happening?

I've had my toes touch down when I didn't get way up on the balls of my feet because I was too busy shifting or breaking, but I always notice as soon as they touch.
