Bust out the welder..

i dont have a problem with my SMX Plus boots.
angle your ankle a little so that the edge of the
heal on the boot will catch the stand.

I have a problem with my vertigos. Just learn to deal with it, who cares if you look like a squid trying to pop it down for 5 min.

I have those same boots (SMX PLUS).. like SLAPS said just angle your foot down a little and the heel will catch the kickstand.. piece of cake.

I have the same problem with the same boots, sometimes I stick it, other times I fudge it big time (like yesterday, had a slow mo dump but luckly my sliders saved it.

my kickstand is harder to put down with my rearsets....but whatever.

on a different but related note...

after 5 years of riding, I stopped in julian in the middle of a longer ride to grab some lunch with motomike and erik, forgot to put my kickstand down, and barely saved it. a good laugh for all. hehe.

I accidentally knocked mine into first gear once trying to find the kickstand without looking. The only damage was I looked kile a noob. I'm getting the impression that nobody has modified thier kickstand.

i had a hell of a time getting my kickstand down with my rearsets w/ tennis shoes at first....havent tried with my A* smx-r's yet but it's all in the way you angle your foot to get the heel to catch....try pointing your toe towards 10 o'clock.

Sounds like something I would do, I'll have to be careful when I get a street bike, walk into work, hear a noise and see my bike on its side... i'd want the day off.

no problems with me putting down the sidestand, you just got to learn how to contort your left leg a bit.

3 out of 3 times today I got it down with the heal... very very.. very slowly
