Sidi Boots so hard to get used to!

Just went on riding with the new Sidi boots i got, it is hard to get used to. I have trouble holding my bike up with the boots. With reg. shoe i can hold it up very easily but with the boots it seems like i barely have any grip with the ground because i have to use the toe area. Supposedly the boot should provide better grip than shoe but how come it is so hard to push the bike or even stand straight.
Was it like this for everyone?

You will get used to them and you can grip the pegs better but watch out for liquid, because it gets very slippery.

Try one legging it at stops so you'll have more surface area on the ground.

Re: Sidi Boots so hard to get used to!

I have the vertigo corsas, and they are very short. But, they're not designed for running on the bike. They're designed to be lightweight, and to give you the most amount of feel while you're on the bike.
When im wearing those boots, i can only get one foot down at a time.
