Great for delicate shoes.
I don't always ride with my moto boots on to work (sorry ankles!), so these are the perfect safe guard for my dress shoes.  Granted, most of my shoes are dark colored anyway, but a lot of them have leather soles, which have 0 traction when putting your foot down on the road.<br /><br />This thing solves two problems perfectly:  protect your shoes from the shift pedal, and add just the little bit of traction necessary that your foot doesn't slide out of under you when putting it down at a stop.<br /><br />Fitting is a bit weird at first, but quickly takes a minute to do once you get used to it.  Use the snap on the third row of laces away for optimum position, and adjust to the widest setting on the belt strap.  Once it breaks in, tight the belt as necessary.
