Left boot more worn than right one.

[Dr.Moreau]

Noticed my left boot has a hole in it on the bottom and the only reason I can think is when coming to a stop I use my back brake so put my left foot down.

Anyone elses more worn?

Can I get this fixed rather than having to buy new boots?

Cheers

It's still just a boot. Any good cobbler will sort it out.

stop being tight my XPD's are showing wear but I have done 24,000 miles worth.

I reckon a hole = treat yourself to new boots/rant at manufacturer depending on how old they are.

I've got a fkin great hole in the back of my left Sidi thanks to an exposed clutch.

Good for ventilation though

Do you drag your foot as you slow down?

Or you mean just putting it down once you have stopped?

Probably because you're moving your left foot around more to change gear whereas the right foot just 'rests' on the footrest/brake; the left foot is sliping the boot around the gear lever to postion it ready for up or down - do you have metal topped footrests or rubber?

Ever noticed how the left footrest rubber is usually more worn than the right on higher mileage bikes.

Either that ot you keep walking round in clockwise circles looking at your bike.

Even it up with the new pair put putting your right foot down when you stop from now on.. I can feel one of those threads coming on about how experienced riders use the correct foot.
Everytime I see someone do the shuffle here in London just to pull away I chuckle to myself as its so inefficient and think newbie!
