I wear Herman's Survivors. Have had a pair for 10 years and still going strong. You could ride with your foot on the pipe and not feel it. It's the 400 gram Thinsulate boot. Herman's is no longer around, I believe the name they put on the boot is Smith's. This is one of the boots:

They are tall, waterproof and last forever. On the rare occaision I get caught in the rain, I'm dry on top of my head and from where the boots start down. Everything else is wet...

I wear the danner wildland firefighter boots. They do double for me. Work boots and ride boots. You don't neccessarily have to have the danners though, any boot with a vibram sole will suffice.

I do reccomend the danner wildland fire boots though. Comfortable, excellent quality boot, made in USA.

I was having the same problem. I started to really pay attention to my foot placement making sure my heel was not on the pipes and after awhile I noticed I naturally am keeping it off the pipes now

Your just going to have change your foot position. Once in a while I rest mine against it but it only leaves a small mark so it's not too bad to polish off. Dickies black steel toed work boots.

They're all fire resistant, but you'd be better to look for a set of boots with the #100F vibram soles. These are the ones used in the fireline boots, and offer increase fire resistance, plus oil resistance. We're required to have them on the fireline.

Either get boots that don't melt, or do like what I do, after riding I check the mufflers, and if there is any scuffs, I simply wipe them off while they are fresh and hot, comes right off. Only problem is when you forget! Then I use one of those deodorant looking sticks for muffler scuffs.
