| Many
people ask us how the Boot Dr. started. Well, here is
the story…Back in 1997, on a sunny, spring day
in New England, Mike Cardoso, the founder & inventor
of the Boot Dr.™ got off his brand new Heritage
Springer to find that he had unfortunately burned half
of his boot heel onto the hot exhaust pipe, which is
located right next to the floorboard. He then spent
2 hours painstakingly cleaning the burnt boot marks
off the pipe, only to notice that once he was done,
the luster was gone from the chrome. Needless to say,
he was unhappy. Mike, being an avid motorcycle enthusiast
since age 19, also enjoyed going on long tours on his
bike. During these long trips, he would ride for hours
on end, at which point he noticed another annoying problem.
His foot would sometimes be blown off the back of the
floorboard due to excessive wind resistance and vibration
from the motor. He found that he needed to constantly
readjust his feet & battle the wind, which in turn
caused some muscle fatigue in his legs. He thought to
himself, “there has got to be a simple solution
to this problem”. That solution turned out to
be the Boot Dr™.
