You need to break the boots in better. I'll take it you got moto cross boots like Alpine Stars or Thor and what you need to do is wear them..ALOT.
I wore mine around the house breaking them in for close to a month over the winter. Now they flex quite nicely.

You will get used to riding with them. it just takes a while.

I wear mine to church :confused2 jk!

just get them broke in and you will get used to them in time

i had the exact same problem, but you dont have to adjust your shifter as long as you remember that you cant just roll or slide your foot under the shifter and you have to take your foot off to shift pretty much everytime, this works great for me. dont get mad if it takes a while cause they are well worth the adjustment for the protection they give you.

Raising it up will probably help but shifting will become easier as you break in your boots and get used to them

Yup, raise the shifter up a notch. To break them in, the best way I have found is to walk around on your toes and bounce on them. It loostens them up pretty quick without the side affects of draging them behind your car and beating them with a bat.

wuts differnt with riding boots, are they stiff like all the way up so u dont break a ankle or somethin?

[bluebaron]

there only realy stiff right around the ankle, at least mine are

[lilpoppy]

Pluss they are generally thicker in the toe area so they don't quite fit under the shifter.

I raised mine and it works better:D
