have you removed the rubber inserts from the pegs? I found that I could get my roadrace size 46 boots under the shifter much better after I did that.

For daily commutes I wear a pair of ICON boots that I can wear into work without a bunch of squeaking and they look like a normal boot....
Something like these
for canyon carving I picked up a pair of the SIDI Vortices... I had no idea how nice and light boots could be!!! These are incredible.

Maybe so, but just the same, I bet they look great on you.
Good find.

Not where he wears them!  John, they're for yer feet...
Sidi Vertigo Airs (this is not a dirt bike). But adjustable pegs like the Ducati Designs or Shift Tech will help fit MX boots.

+1 On the Sidi Vertigo's. I LOVE mine. Superior fit/quality/understated style & great color selection. A little spendy but SO worth the investment. Great feel from the pegs, and protection for your footsies and legs!

Ditto on the Vortices, very light and great flex, little pricey but awesome protection.
