I am having problems shifting up with these Harley boots on my 06 Sportster. The boot toe seems too large, and I am having to look down to shift up. Any suggestions or another kind of boot to use that would be easier to shift with?

Welcome aboard from Omaha, Nebraska. I had the same problem and switched to cowboy boots.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]
I got used to it pretty fast when I changed boots. I was going to adjust the shifter, but it turned out I could shift just fine, just couldn't feel it.
Raise the lever or shift with the base of your toe instead of the tip
hello and welcome from Central Alabama. See if you can get adjusted to the ones you bought first. Heck, HD brand boot is expensive to keep buying until something feels comfy.
