Not really enough room for my boots

Is it common for there to be such a small amount of space between the peg and the shifter on these bikes? When I go from up shifting, I have to basicy slide my foot completely out and then lift it up on to the peg if that makes any sense at all. Is there any other style shifter which make it easier?

Adjust the linkage on the shifter rod to give you more room.

Just loosen the lock nuts on the shifter rod and adjust it. It will bring the toe piece up or down.

Or, you can rotate the clamp on the shift-shaft forward one spline.
