Default Need footpeg ideas please....

I have stock mid-pegs and have trouble getting my feet comfortable because the heel on my riding boots hooks underneath them. This can make it difficult to reach the brake sometimes....

Anyone change out their stock footpegs? Please post a photo if possible. I'm not looking to change from mids to forwards, I'm looking for a footpeg that's a little wider.

Thanks!

Check out some of the pegs HERE. Anything that's broader front2back provides a better "plant" area for your foot.

I had a problem with my boot heel getting caught on my pegs sometimes when swiveling my foot to shift or brake. Was going to try different pegs. Then i thought i'd maybe customize the boots first. Took a grinder to the sharp angles on the heel & rear of the front sole.
Solved my problem : )
