I have 13's and it's a pain. I have to put my foot at an angle on the boards. Looked at the link rkoko164 provided to extend the shifters. I do waterski barefoot so that one good reason to have such big feet!!

Wearing size 13s alot now, I finally got sick of my heel shifter and off it came last time home. Got the pretty chrome cover and fixed. Now I have more wiggle room for my left foot. Lots more comfy. If you cant get your toe under the shifter.. try movin it up.

I took mine off because I am just too used to the toe shift. Tried the heelie a few times and it seemed to take too much effort and thinking

I have put mine back on 3 times now, and have it off in less than 10 miles. It just don't seem natural.
