The Velasca Shifter Shoe Protector is an aftermarket accessory for avid motorcyclists to incorporate onto their footwear when getting ready to ride to prevent avoidable damage to footwear.
The protector is crafted with a piece of black full-grain leather that's paired with a Vibram anti-slip rubber section and an elastic band. These components protect from damage incurred from the shifter, while also keeping the accessory in place during long rides.
The Velasca Shifter Shoe Protector is durable enough for long-term use, but will also patina over time to show signs of wear. The accessory from the Italy-based footwear brand promises to protect boots or shoes of any style to make it great for urbanites heading into the office.
