Protect boots from snowboard edges

Snowboarders have to rest their snowboard on their boot while riding up the chairlift to prevent strain on the leg with the snowboard still attached. I was very mad my expensive boots were being shredded by the metal edge of the snowboard. I was shocked a company who makes these products and knows that snowboarders ride chairlifts this way wouldn't try to protect the boot. My boyfriend's boots from the same company were also being destroyed the same way. I tried hot glue to help protect the boot but it couldn't stand the cold and snow and the boots continued to have significant damage. We were furious our boots weren't even going to last two seasons... Until we saw an add for sugru on a tv show we were watching. It was the perfect fix. We molded rubber protectors over the high wear areas that prevented the metal edge of the snowboard from tearing apart the boot material. Hopefully our boots will now stay intact for years to come. You should try to help this company save face for their poorly designed products and offer them some Sugru.
