I have recently been bitten by the off-road bug again. I grew up on a farm and spent a lot of time in the saddle of many dirt bikes. Now that I am older and wiser (read: more fragile) I have been purchasing gear to keep me in one piece. I was using an old pair of Cortech solution road boots but realized they just weren't going to do the job for rough terrain safety. I purchased a pair off O'Neal dedicated MX boots that are like a fortress for your feet/ankles/shins. However, I cannot imagine how one would get any kind of feel through the levers or pegs through these things. I haven't worn them on the trails yet because I'm not too sure I could even shift with them on. Any words of advice how to break them in or tricks for shifting?
