My riding boots have a plastic pad sewn on the left boot right where the shifter hits so the surface is a little more scratch-resistant.

They make these too
I knew I couldn't be alone in my neuroses about shifter marks on my boot (what I like to call "shift toe"). Every now and then when I think about getting new boots I try and see if anyone has had any experience with how it holds up to a motorcycle toe shifter, but I never see anyone make mention of it.
Your post reminded me about it, and finally got me to do a search. Turns out they make toe shifter guards, like this one. I also see through Google image search that there seem to be more robust ones, including ones made out of leather. Of course, I don't know if that would help with any dent it makes in your boot. I mean, like others have said, you could take pride in the wear/tear on your boot. But, I know for me, it's the asymmetrical nature of the "wear" that would bother me.
I don't like wearing backpacks and thought that simply covering my shifter was easier than carrying extra shoes. If this product existed (http://www.amazon.com/Shifter-Skinz-Motorcycle-Protectors-Accessories/dp/B001036KGO) I would have certainly purchased it. Seems like a nice compromise.

Something like that I assume? Quite honestly, I don't see the point. If he has proper motorcycling boots, it won't be an issue. Hell, my boots are white leather and they still look fine after 3 years. If he isn't wearing proper boots, maybe lead him that direction instead, because it'll look way better and be safer too.
