              Just curious, what's the little patch supposed to be for? Just looks?

                i think it´s some sort of "protection" when you´re riding your bike that the leather of your boots won´t tear as fast while shifting as it would if there was just one layer of leather!…

                    Isn't it usually only on the left boot?  You don't need extra protection for the right, do you?

                      Some old school British bikes have a gear shift on the right side. My Altbergs have the reinforcement on both boots.

                          yeah, it's called a gear shift patch.

                            Not "old school".  Just OLD…

                              i used to have a pair of black classic wesco boss boots and the creases in that area were the first to get soaked in prolongued rain. the burlap roughouts don't have that problem and resist hours in the snow or rain. 'sides, i obviously like the look and necessity is an odd thing to discuss in a forum mainly about 21oz+ 300$+ denim 🙂

                                    Thanks J! They all hate 'em here except you and Eddie because I had them made with four (!) straps. There are more pics a few pages back. But sometimes you've got to do crazy stuff 🙂

                                        You know, I had completely forgotten about those early pics of yours, NCA.  The bad lighting that made them look pinkish was the only problems could see with them.  But Giles is (of course) right- your boots, your money.  If somebody else doesn't like 'em, they can screw off.

                                        I really like that burlap color roughout, by the way.

                                          thanks guys 🙂 After all, what's the use of customizing them, if they end up looking everybody elses boots. However, eventually I'll start looking again for another, a bit more traditional pair for riding.

                                            actually i was going with two straps myself.  I find the extra straps keep the jeans from attempting to ride up.  more grip around the calve and they look hardcore-er 🙂
