trust me you'll get used to it...i use the steel tip of the boot to shift my gears ...took a little getting used to but once you get the boots broken in you'll be fine..they are pretty stiff when there brand spank...

I had to move my shifter up a bit...I have the same boots...the black ones. It takes some time to get used to but you'll be fine :) Moving the shifter was a BIG help for me though.

If you wet them down and walk around in em some before you ride with em it will help in the break in.....once you break em in and get used to them I bet you will be able to leave the shifter in the normal position.

well that's something I didn't think of trying.....wish I woulda new that to starttttt :) Hopefully after a full season of racing, my boots are finally going to get as comfortable as they can be...just don't try to run in them...especially up a flight of stairs.....

bad things happen when you do

We have one place that we ride at where all of the trails start off of a creekbed.....I always plan a weekend trip there whenever I get a new pair of boots...the first day I will stay back at the camp walking up and down the creekbed while the family is riding and they will be good to go for the next day. I know of a few folks that will wear a new pair of boots in the shower a few times before they ride with em on.

great tips!!!
