As Rinksy said, the leathers will break in soon enough after a few rides, although the better the leather the sooner they'll soften.
As for the boot catching on the peg...I had this issue a when I got my R1. It will get less and less as you learn to lift your leg away a certain way after being stationary but it is a pain I know.
Once I changed to a different boot (from Sidi to Alpinestars) the problem totally vanished as the Alpinestars boots aren't as high up the calf as the Sidi's. (I didn't change boots because of the catching btw lol)
