well for most of my riding life ( only 2years) ive ridden in just regular shoes, until about a week ago when i finally bought my first set of boots, in any case im finding it hard to adjust to riding in them, i think my biggest hang up is im used to having full articulation of my ankle. anyway my question is pretty much when wearing boots what is the proper foot position?
i find myself missing shifts sometimes now

It just takes some time to get used to. I just got boots as well after 2 years as well. Took me about 200km to get used to it, it'll come
