Toe Sliders

[Ichy]

I'm after some a pair of velcro toe sliders. The only ones I can find are from Wiz but they look almost flat. The boots are Gaerne Strada Evo. Been in touch with the UK office and they don't stock the replacements, no reply from Gaerne.

Does anyone know of any other velcro toe slider thats available?

Ebay? Superb advice, never thought of that

Maybe I'll go and try 'something', you never know

Seriously, I've tried all the usual internet places that I can think of and google only came up with the wiz ones. Damn it, means I might have to go to a REAL shop.

Why not go to a fabric shop, buy some velcro, attach to normal sliders, voila

I had thought of that since I have about 30 foot of velcro in my garage but it was how to attach to the slider that was the problem. While typing this I did think of using a small washer and a countersunk screw from the inside. We'll see. Cheers.

Or small strong staples, that's what they're like on knee sliders. Or araldite.

Forgot I've got two staple guns in my garage

Thanks for the advice, much easier.

I'm surprised someone hasn't already suggested...
Why don't you just stop scraping your toes on the ground?

[Ichy]

I tried but its hard to change gear with your feet on the rear pegs.

I think there is something odd with the way I ride anyway. My feet hit the floor way before my knees. I think I ride with my feet pointing outwards?

[garth]

Probably riding with the arch of your foot on the peg, not your toes.

You really should start riding with the balls of your feet on the pegs when cornering. When in a straight line just ride how your comfortable but when cornering you want the balls of your feet on the pegs. I've only got my toes down once (and I can get the pegs down most of the time) and that was because I needed another gear on a left hander. Solution, go into the corner a gear higher.
