Short riders / Boots
I am a shor rider - 5'6" (age 65) 28" inseam. Rode our 2004 EG for 11 years on full size suspension. I have been ask several times in a PM on how I do it (2 up 98% of the time).
On my 2004 and now my 2015 - it is super important we have to fit ourself handlebars/saddle and Boots
These boots work great for me and add a good 2.25 inches
Here is a link for the boots - it shows the full retail price, i found mine on the net for under $200 - for me, boots are just part of the safety gear and for short riders a MUST, lol

my loggers blew apart after over 20 years and 10's of thousands of miles...I had magnets inside the left heel, which I could drag across inductive strips to trigger traffic lights.
well they blew up and the lady at the shoe repair wanted more than they cost- the vibram soles and sub soles were gone ( 2 x retreads) and the stichting was rotting out everywhere
I'll hit the redwing store tomorrow- see what they have.
I also have vibram lug soles on my cowboy boots

I had some awesome red wing boots I bought for wildland firefighting. They had a thick sole and big heel. Awesome leather thick and protective...they were a MAN'S boot for sure. Ended up working construction in them and walking concrete all day killed my feet. They sat for several years until I threw them out! They would have lasted the rest of my life. Now I'm a bit too short for my bike and they would have been perfect. Think I paid around 200 for them. Sucks.

I took my HH boots to a shoemaker and added much thicker soles. The shoemaker tried to talk me out of it because he didn't understand why I wanted to do it. Once I explained it he realized it made sense. Did a great job and they are exactly what I needed. (Along with a seat mod from MCC.)
