Sounds like carbon fiber might make shifting a little harder ?

He is F'ing with you bro. The boot wouldn't be made out of real carbon fiber.
It's basically a "pleather" CF look a like.

Go w/ the leather w/ red stitching man. Carbon fiber is the sh!t, but on a shift boot? It's only cool when it is actually functional. Weight savings are a great thing, but a shift boot is just too over the top for me. I would probably go w/ silk, that will save you huge numbers!

The CF boots made by jpm coachworks are actually pretty sweet. You should check them out. Weight savings isn't everything to everyone.
