Default boot question

I know there has been posts before about boots...but this is a lil different i think (hang in there with me, Im still half drunk) Do any of you have this problem...when I wear boots while riding i have a hard time getting my toe under the shifter..I have a nice pair of Timberlines...steel toe and what not...but every time I wear them while riding, I its a pain in the *** to get the toe under the shifter...so what kinda boots do most people wear???

I have been using Z custom leathers boots. Well, actually bought them in 1991 and am still riding with them. Would have liked some ankle protection in them though. Of course they offer that in the newer boots. I never had an issue with the shifter.

I picked up a pair of Alpinestars Ridge somethingorother... off of a crash-tested recommendation from a friend. They're pretty simple looking and pretty easy to get under the shifter.

Adjust your shift lever up a little. Don't have to move it much.

I just bought a pair of Icon's and thought I would have a problem shifting, but I had no problem at all.
