FYI, a taller heel on a boot does ZERO for helping you if you can't touch. Think about it, when you stop, you put the balls of your feet down first. If you have the soles of your shoes made thicker you will be riding in platforms(a'la the 70's lol) and lose the feel of the controls in doing so.

You may want to cut some of the seat padding down and/or narrow the front of the seat so your feet can touch a bit sooner. Remember it's not just seat height, but width as well.
