I'm also 5'8" with 30" inseam. I use the short on both my bikes and I use take off stock passenger pegs from a sporty for a clean simple look.

As mentioned, find a happy medium where you can put your heel on the floorboards and your toes on the pegs, then you can also move your whole foot onto the pegs. Gives you three different positions to move back and forth to on those long rides.

You said it better than I did. Also, the heel rest arm can be used.

Here are some pics of different positions you can use when you have heel rests.

Halfway-





All the way-






Just the toe on the heel rest-

I'm the same size, have these same mounts, and have them set up this same way....

Works really well for me...

Here's a pic of a good Highway Peg with Heel Rest that can be adjusted a multitude of ways, including close to the floorboard...just use the toe on the heel rest, or put the entire foot on the highway peg. Can't beat it for comfort.




LINK to a selection of adjustable mounts.
thanks for the link

I just installed these last weekend. They make a "short" and a "long" version. I went with the "long" version. Brings the peg closer to my feet. Also went with the stock rubber pegs. They have a ridge at the edge to keep your feet from slipping off. Good luck!
