Many people ask us how the Boot Dr. started.  Well, here's the stor.  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!!
