I know this may sound like a stupid question but...
Since I have big feet, does that make kickflips harder? I havea hard time finding a comfortable foot positioning that helps me kick the board good.
Whenever I try to kickflip, maybe 3/5 times It spins almost perfect... but everytime my feet are basically already on the ground...

i am not sure but you can still do it maybe the reason your positions are uncomfortable are because of the shoes? maybe thats why it might make your feet achy if they are

I got big feet also, just try angling you front foot a bit more towards the nose. It made it a lot easier for me. You might also try having your trucks tighter so it won't be as easy for your feet to touch the ground.

I wear 11(US) and I can do it fine, just practice and try not to kick down to hard I find thats a big problem just slide you toe to the nose with a little Nudge and Gravity should do the rest.
