1996 Sprint 900 controls and big feet

Does anyone else have problem getting their feet in the right position for the shifter and rear brake controls?

Its either my boots or my size 13 feet...but I never have my feet in the right postion on the pegs...i am am always readjusting my feet (pulling back, angling them way left foot way down to get my foot wedged under the shifter)

Is there anything that can be done to the controls fit my feet ..give me a room for my big feet??

I have the same problem on my RS.

I have size 12 plates of meat and it has been mentioned to me (from following riders) that they almost drag on the ground.

When cornering tightly I have to pull my feet (foot) up so as not to touch the toe of my boot. The brake pedal is too high for me to cover the back brake all the time so it tends to perch under the pedal.

I just live with it!! At least I don't fall over when I walk..
