Dumb question.. New boots.. how do you stop them wrinkling on the clutch?

Hi all

This is a dumb question about an issue thats been annoying me for a while.

New boots.. when using the clutch, the front of my shoe (and toes) always end up being bent upwards and thus leaving crease marks that are worse on one boot than they are on the other.

How do you guys get around it?

    Just get some driving shoes, leave them in the car all the time, and put your boots on when you get there.

    Not a bad idea.. I could use my old boots I suppose but I'm lazy and hate changing :rotfl:

    I was hoping someone would suggest a different technique that I may of missed.

    Me too normally but the thing is SORN at the moment :(
