Have you tried the mod I mentioned in post 10 of this thread ?

I had problems with the gear change but found that the rear heel guide cover was restricting my foot movement. I took out the two cap head screws holding on the guide cover and shaved about 3mm off the top with a Stanley Knife. That allowed my foot to extend under the lever easier. I also chamfered the front of the heel on the right one to help with the way I move my foot to the brake on the track. Two very minor mods that improved the boots 100%.

This worked for me and gear changes are spot on now the boots have worn in.
