Wheelies with Mx boots help

I recently got a dirtbike and am now selling it for a drz4s dual sport. I learned to wheelie on my surron with a handbrake before selling it so I am comfortable being back in the balance point (I’ve gone past 12 on it). I feel I could wheelie a footbrake with shoes on but I don’t want to wear shoes as I like having working ankles in case I crash plus i hop on the trails all the time. I have some cheap fox Mx boots but I can’t bring myself to get back into the balance point as I feel like I will push the brake way too hard because of the limited feel and fly over the front of the bike. And it’s hard not being able to just move my ankle.
Any tips and advice would help
Thanks
