Default how do you shift with mx boots on? I'm dead serious!!!

I adjusted my shifter up a couple notches so I could fit my toes under the shift lever and now it is really hard to downshift. My new fly boots are really stiff and I can't pivot my ankle to make a shift. Do any of ya'll have any suggestions?

Take your foot off the peg and step on the shifter to downshift. When your foot is on the peg, you should have the shifter adjusted high enough that you can keep your boot under the shifter and upshift by lifting your leg or rocking your foot back.
