Hi,
When riding in the rain (happens too often lately) I find that I lack a bit of grip with my boots.
Anybody experienced the same?
Any recommendations for more grippy pegs?
Thanks.

Cannot guarantee it'll be a perfect fix, but: skateboard deck tape. I applied it in the past to metal brake levers on my mountain bike, the adhesive stuck well. A foot of it is way more than you need and should only cost a few dollars at your local skate shop, they may have different 'grit' levels, so check when asking for it. Worse case: contact cement and emery cloth. I'm about to do this to my Enertia+.

Or a section of an old bicycle inner tube held on with some tie wraps. Not exactly slick looking, but then I'm a function-over-form kind of guy!
I haven't noticed this to be a problem, so I wonder if maybe your boot soles are extra hard?

That's a good idea, I will give it a try!

Also a nice idea, but I prefer to keep the looks of the bike...
I compared my pegs with the passenger footpegs today and it looks like the passenger footpegs are less worn.
So I guess the bottom of my boots are the cause of the pegs getting less grippy.
Maybe I could swap footpegs with the passenger footpegs and see if it helps.

Hmm... reminds me of the Simon and Garfunkle song: "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes." That would certainly wear down the pegs!

Well, that would explain why the boots were so expensive...

These boots are *not* made for walking! ;)
