Motocross/enduro (and most) adventure boots are a lot more solid than typical leather road boots, especially around the toe area which tends to have a lot of plastic armour to protect your tootsies from errant rocks etc.
It can feel a bit detatched at first, but you do get used to it - and most dual-sport adventure bikes have plenty of room around the gear lever/footrest for larger chunkier boots so it shouldn't actually impede your shifting, just feel a little more remote - what bike do you ride?

btw. A plug for Alpinestar Vector boots - they are tough, but more supple than the usual enduro fare...
